From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: The Redhat installer allowed the selection if individual packages. Thus, a normal user would install default groups, but a power user/system administrator would install only the minimal and then refine the selection by choosing individual packages.The "good" behaviour would show in the individual packages screen the packages selected at the previous (group selection) screen, and then allow to add/remove rpms. The Fedora installer is not showing the "Select individual packages" option, so this tuning of the system is not possible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Fedora CD 2.Step through the installation 3.Look at the "Select what to install" screen Actual Results: There is no "select individual packages" Expected Results: Select "Minimal install", "Select individual packages", tune my installation to my specific needs, check for dependencies (normally I select what I need - programs and devel - , and let the installer add the required libraries and other dependencies. Additional info:
This was not rewritten intentionally after a rewrite of some of the backend package handling code. The installer will get you a basic system up and running after which you can tweak the full package list as you want to. Unfortunately, the bit to get the invididual package selection in redhat-config-packages didn't quite happen this time around, hopefully for next time.
