One highly underdocumented feature of the installer is that within each major chunk of packages (the column on the left side of the screen), you can select all the sub-chunks over on the right side, then right click the mouse and pick "select all optional package" So you can get "everything" with only a moderate number of mouse clicks (I haven't discovered any way to do it with the keyboard, which is a pain in the patoot in a Xen virtual machine install with the flakey mouse tracking). If "select all optional packages" is a valid thing to do, I have no idea why there isn't a button labeled "OK, pretend I went through everything manually and clicked on select all optional packages" :-).
