It was an unexpected change that bothers many people. Many people were confortable using the Custom -> Everything Install, while some others use the Custom -> minimal install for the past Fedora Core releases. And then enabling yum to install the *missing pieces/wanted pieces*. This topic will probably get hotter as Core 5 is released. Anyhow we should not take any issues/insults personal! We are all Fedora Core users and what suits us does not necessarily suit all. The members of this list have been very helpful and resourceful from both sides of this heated "Everything Install" argument. Please let us not waste too much time on hard issues such as this. Time is only thing that will determine the outcome of this very questionable change. Best Regards, Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
