I used the select all per group today during an install. All the
packages that I normally use were there after installing. The process
did not take long since I was able to choose all optional packages easily.
I also did a yum upgrade on another system and it croaked because it had
all of the openoffice language packages on it. I believe if the Turkish
package was correct, it would have upgraded initially. I never use the
language packages but they should not cause a failure either.
I know the issue was discussed too much already.
I like the new installer over an everything install but this feature
elimination does not keep the heat on for the GFS kernel modules and the
language specific packager/developers to keep their packages at least
installable.
