I was about to submit a bug report that neither does the installer simply allow my to throw the full contents of the DVD onto my disk anymore, nor do any of my kickstart files work with FC5 anymore, when I found that this was not a bug or a temporary shortcoming, but was done on purpose (at least according to a post by R. Sundaram which sounded quite authoritative).
you assume it's even possible to (sanely) install all packages, which I think already was not the case for a while, with an increasing number of special cases to keep the "almost everything" install working....
(kernels and other rpms with conflicting files etc etc)
Yes, I know, that was always the case. And "everything" meant just that.
An everything install option should had been even a must for the test releases. There are bugs that emerge only in bad synergies of packages.
I just installed FC5t3, clicked on any funny checkbox there was and I get a system w/o emacs ...
BTW I found a bugzilla entry [2] which contrary to R. Sundaram's report [1] stated that this was just due to missing yum glue and not a permanent state:

Let's hope a coming rawhide cut will have this restored in one way or another.
