During the testing phase there was a list of many packages that were not 
included in groups which were contained on the install medium and were 
not installed. There was work on getting these applications which were 
not pulled in into a comps file so they would be pulled in.

Your results do not surprise me. Fortunately for me was that programs 
that I use were pulled in with the changes they did make to accommodate 
packages that were not pulled in before with the installer.

I would like to see an addition to the installer that allowed globbing 
even as far as an * for all packages on the install medium.

Anyway, it appears that the right click on selected groups is the best 
that we'll get.
