I know, one of those things that's never been done before here at the 
office - so always gets put on the "we'll do that another time" pile.

OK, I also agree with that.

BUT, I've never said (nor has anyone else here), that there should ONLY 
be an everything install. I just said a tick box would be nice as a 
"select all" in the install process, so the people who DO want an 
everything install don't have to jump through hoops to get one.

I've used Red Hat since 5.1 (yes, I know, late start) and FWICR there 
was always an option like this. This is the first time it is missing.

There must be an awful lot of old schoolers out here though - I'm not 
the only one voicing my concern.
