Yeah I agree, the "everything" Option will not be missed, I never did 
find it useful. I installed fc5t2 today, and had no major problems, a 
minor one with nVidia, but it too will be worked out. I think those who 
are working on FC5 are doing a great job, I love the new look, it 
installs (for the most part) faster and it is cleaner. I personally 
would like to see more packages head on over to extras, and bring the 5 
cd down to a more managable number, but that is personal preference. 
plus, I use the DVD anyway :-)

Thanks folks! Smashing Job!!!
