On the contrary, I enjoy going through all the options and selecting
only the ones I need.
Why would you want to select all the languages and other 'guff-stuff'
that would probably never be used, it's just clutter.
One of the beauties of Linux is that you get to install a minimalist
system. Yum update is then very fast. You then yum install tools as
needed. I wouldn't have it any other way.
