I've never seen any problems from an "everything" installation of either
redhat or fedora.
I counted about 800 clicks to get a complete install by clicking on all
of the separate packages, (not counting the couple of reinstalls because
I missed one of two from manual error).
So I disagree. This isn't a reasonable alternative. A one click
install would have been vastly preferable from my perspective.
