Can anyone tell me how to select individual packages during an install?
kickstart.
On RH 9 there used to be an option to be able to display all packages
and select the one you needed, now it seems this option has been dropped
so I am only able to choose those packages that are available in the
software groups. I've tried text and expert installations but they are
the same.
As you have found out, that option is now gone. I think if you do the custom install, you can choose some additional rpms but the choice is somewhat limited.

Well, if you take it that way, then IMHO this "different approach" is much less useful than the previous scheme.
A custom install gives the option to select/deselect a category then within that category select/deselect individual packages.
However, if you select all individual packages under each category, that will not install ALL the packages on the CDs. If you check them all, then go down to the bottom and check "Everything" you'll see the disk space required is about double from before. But what you're missing is a nice list of the rest of the packages, and an opportunity to just check them or not.
Also, when the install is complete you have the option to install other packages from CD before you exit the install process.
Sure, just type in all the names exactly, without having a list...
