Description of problem:
As an enhancement request, please re-introduce the install-time X configuration
dialog and individual package selection dialog during installation.

Previous versions of RH allowed some limited configuration of X during the
install.  Most importantly, it allowed the selection of either run level 3 or
run level 5 as the default (by selecting "graphical or non-graphical login").  I
have always installed new versions with a run-level of 3 in case there was a
problem with the anaconda-configured X configuration (which there sometimes
were).  In fact, with Fedora test3, I was indeed left with a bad X configuration
which caused my system to hang when first booted.  Removing this option seems
like a step backward unless Red Hat can guarantee that all X configurations will
work properly as generated by anaconda (which hardly seems possible given the
number of hardware variations out there).

Also, please re-introduce the individual package selection option during
install.  There are many packages that are inaccessable from the normal package
selection screens or from the post-install "add and remove packages" utility. 
Yes, they can be added manually later, but it was easier with earlier versions
of RH, and thus represents a step backward, especially for experienced users.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-9.0-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora test3, individual package selection and X configurations
dialogs are missing.
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  I was not able to select run-level 3 ("non-graphical login")
during installation.  I was left with a non-functioning X configuration which
required extra steps to fix compared to if I had started from run-level 3.

Also, installer did not present the individual package selection option.


Expected Results:  I expected to be able to select non-graphical login (runlevel
3) as the default during the installation.

I expected to be able to individually select several lesser-used packages
instead of having to manually install them from CD later.

Additional info:

As mentioned previously, these changes to the installation seem to be step
backward for experienced users.  They may not seem like a big deal, but in both
cases, they resulted in extra work and steps required to fix problems and get
needed packages installed.
