How about making the "complete install" button do exactly that? Then
the people who want the button would have it, so would have no cause to
complain. And presumably it wouldn't break anything involving
conflicts. And people who couldn't figure out the (at least formerly
undocumented) right-click would be able to achieve the same effect.
Here's one of the problems with what is happening with Linux:
It started out being incredibly difficult (i started back with Linux
around Red Hat 4.0). After a few years it became incredibly easy. Now it
seems it's starting to become difficult again. It used to be simple: you
start the installation, pick which packages you want, and do the
install. Now it seems this is becoming, with FC7, a different beast.
Now you might have to download the iso's that contain the softwares you
want. you want KDE, download the KDE iso. You want GNOME, download the
GNOME iso.
I just feel like this is going to send people running from fedora core
over to Unbuntu or PCLinuxOS.
