I don't see how that applies unless you think there won't be any future versions or any future changes. I still think there should be a one-click way to install what 'everything' used to be. It doesn't really have to be 'everything', but it should be what someone who had a part in choosing the set of packages on the CD thinks will make a useful and complete system for most purposes. It could be called 'complete' instead. It doesn't have to be everything on the CD but then again, if a package doesn't have a common use, why is it on the core CDs in the first place? I think most new users would rather take another dollar's worth of disk space to never have to deal with problems like the vmware modules not building because the kernel headers aren't there, or their web application not connecting to their database because the php or dbi modules aren't there, or some perl app installation pulling in CPAN modules when RPMs are available but not installed. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
