But that might overwrite things that I don't want upgraded.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE INDIVIDUAL PACKAGE LIST?
This was discussed ad nauseum in the lists and the decision was made to
simplify the install and leave more refined choices to later. This
seemed to satisfy most participants. You are an example that not all
people can be pleased by choices that are made.
I don't recall that at all. Moreover, then the description of the
"Custom" option is inaccurate. I also suspect that this will create
problems for people who have Gnome installed. Given the presumed
constituency of Fedora users, I cannot understand why there is no way to
exact full control over the installation. What was the downside of
maintaining the "individual package" option?
I actually like Fedora installation compared to RedHat 7.2 or 7.3
I wish that they had a ONE CD, minimal install that did all the package
management and basic networking tools (dhcp client, isdn, pp2p, etc...) so that
you didn't do anything with packages until after you had installed and rebooted
Then you just do the package selection and grooming online with a Full X-windows
environment.
