There are very sound reasons for the changes made to the installation process. For FC5, the goal was to get to a state that was similar to FC4 and before; FC6 will see the major positive results of these changes (and at that point "Install everything" would most likely have been removed anyway as it really wouldn't make sense). > Consider that Sun claims that you can run > any program written for 2.6 (released in 1996) under the current > Solaris 10.

IIRC, Solaris 8 and 9 have two different installers you can choose from (which seems rather stupid and confusing). I haven't installed Solaris 10 yet, but last time I installed Solaris 9, I don't recall an "install everything" button. Thinking about it, I don't remember seeing an "install everything" option in just about any OS I've installed except RHL, RHEL, and FC. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
