From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925 Description of problem: Current RH/Fedora system require some package always installed (just like kernel, shell, filesystem and others). It would be good it users can enable such packages install during package selecting. So installating will be short (this require background format too). This option should be turned on only for system with big memory and/or good processor as it can increase memory/processor use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:
This actually ends up having negative impacts on the performance during installation and the minimal set actually doesn't take an appreciable amount of time to install. You also want to give as much chance of going back to change partitioning information as possible during package selection if you see you're going to need more disk space.
