They(Fedora Developers) were going to do away with the "Everything Install" anyway. The arguments for and against it were discussed, but the end result was the same. When Fedora Core 5 comes out, I wonder how many people are going to complain about exactly this issue? Too many clicks to install everything per group and in the end, everything was not installed**? I just hope that they do not drop tetex, and tetex* from the base cd's/dvd. Yum installing tetex, would probably take a long time through dialup. Many things are getting fixed, while other things are done away with. It is hard to please everyone. Regards, Antonio > > > Tony > > -- > > Tony Molloy. > > Dept. of Comp.
