I did it with FC5-T2 and found there were over 800 packages from the iso's not installed even though I checked everything manually. > > > > You've just made the point for the other side.

No conflicts that I can remember. Even when you did an NFS install from an updated tree. FC-5 has problems with GFS package conflicts and some others but that's a distribution problem not a problem with an everything install. > > Something that was never a problem for all the previous versions > that did have an 'everything' choice whose only problem was > installing all of the languages even though you had already > selected the one you wanted at an earlier install step... > That's exactly right. What would be very useful is an "Everything Install" that installed everything but only the languages and locales you have choosen.
