So let me get this straight.. nothing other than a single check box
during install is going to satify you? There is no room to
compromise? You've drawn the line in the sand and you are holding your
breath? That's unfortunate.
Some of us, are working with the maintainers to identify which
packages are not incorporated into the comps grouping structure
correctly so that the functionality of the install all button will
essentially be duplicate by selecting all displayed packages in all
displayed groups during the install process.
Hmm: Are you really implying (I don't think so) that browsing all the
groups, going into the details for each of them, selecting all the
optional packages is somehow equivalent to clicking one checkbox? Well,
maybe in the outcome but definitely not in terms of time consumed and
wear and tear on fingers, mouse buttons, etc. ;-). I guess if we had a
means of selecting none/recommended/all packages for specific
groups/subgroups with a single click, they amount of complaints would be
drastically reduced.
