fc5: install everything?

Hey Jim,
	Although you make valid points, please be aware that other people have 
different needs than you do. I've seen a lot of posts (including this 
one) with a lot of I's. "I am satisfied" "I know I do not want" "I do 
not want" "I would not exclude".

Fedora isn't made for simply one person. It is made for a community of 
people. We must ALL remember that please.

Personally, I just installed FC5 for the first time here at the office, 
and, in my case (I didn't know about the right clicking because I'm lazy 
and probably missed reading that somewhere), it was hellishly annoying 
to convert the default setup into an "Everything" one.

Apart from the Languages packs, we ALWAYS install everything here, as 
most of our PCs go out to clients. We can not know beforehand what they 
need, so we install everything, then disable unneeded services.

That is my case. Most people do not want this, and that is fine.

What I agree with the other posters is that what is NOT fine is the fact 
that the everything option has been removed without a suitable 
replacement. A "Select All" tick box or the like would have sufficed me, 
but apart from the right click method, we don't have that option any more.

I think that is what of posters on this subject mean, and frankly, for 
us here at my work, I'd have to agree.

Regards,
Ed.
