Nice try, the one being a "troll" (romping into a list and arguing against the facts, because you don't like it), is you. If you want to continue your stupid argument about the "everything" installation, go and argue with the people who're responsible for the installation routines. We all know just how far you're going to get, and that's because of you being a twit, not them. >> others, that the everything option didn't install "everything".

It's not a "strawman" it's a fact. It never installed everything, if you think it did, you're seriously mistaken. You're deluded if you think otherwise. None of us care whether you can't understand reasons and explanations, you've demonstrated you're a pigheaded idiot quite definitely by now. >> If you really want to install everything, and it won't work, it's >> child's play: CD into the RPMs folder, and do: rpm -i *.rpm > If you really want want to make nonconstructive comments, it's > a child's play, *plonk* If you think that's non-constructive, you're a complete idiot. I gave you a single command line that COULD install everything. But it won't, and the rest of us know the reasons why.

The one being an idiot here, is you. Everyone else can see it, even if you can't. And thanks to the archiving of the list they can see it for all time. You've had your points refuted by facts, you've blithely ignored all advice about the issue, and carried on a petulant rant about not being able to get your own way. There is absolutely nothing stopping users from trying out any package that they want to, nor from having a look through the list of available files and descriptions for what they do. No user is going to try out every package, and you're a real fool if you think any one person can. You're also quite stupid if you don't understand the nasty experience that will be inflicted upon new users who did try to install everything then pick up the pieces. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
