I install to my laptop and travel often without internet access.
It's not uncommon for me to want some particular tool which isn't
automatically installed, and it's very frustrating if I'm on the road
and don't have the tool(s) that I want.
I'm afraid of missing a tool during install that I might have a need for
on the road, so an 'everything' install is nice. (Not to mention that
it gets old in a hurry having to discover which tools are missing and
installing them as I discover them.)
For travelling, I would suggest making a local copy of the CDs. That
way you can use yum to install packages you are missing but aren't
wasting the disk space for all the installed packages.
