Let us now go into the world of 'I want'.

If he gets an <INSTALL EVERYTHING> button I want a <SELECT EVERYTHING YOU DO
NOT WANT WHILE WE INSTALL EVERYTHING> button to be an option of his.  This
said with a smile.

I do not understand why you would want to install everything. Five?, or more,
officesuites when I can chose the one I want from the CD/DVD? Or browsers. Or
email clients. Or anything? Servers? Apache? How many firewalls do you need?
How many locales? How many desktops? Screensavers? And on and on. The list is
almost as long as this thread.

I think this thread is a troll and that means it just hit the /dev/null list.
