Right on spot. Everything installation was a bandaid over inflexible 
package management post installation to the point that the users felt 
that just selecting everything would save them a lot of potential  pain 
later. Combine that with the different profiles being less than idea for 
various typical use cases and we ended up with a misfeature.

Thats the idea. We have some issues such as implementing better media 
handling in Pirut for dial up and restricted network users . RFE at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182473 for those 
who want to follow that discussion. Its much better in general in FC5 in 
comparison to previous releases.
