Description of problem: I had an install with all Default package groupings ( bar visualisation ) on, once I logged in as root ( I didn't get the Bug 183542 issue ) and ran Add/Remove Packages to customise my install, gnome/X11 were turned off & I didn't realise it, so they were removed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Reproduced twice, required an install from scratch Steps to Reproduce: 1. Complete Install ( not upgrade ) 2. Run Add/Remove Software ( as root ) Actual results: Gnome/gdm removed. Expected results: Pup would have the settings selected on installation as defaults. Additional info: Was not easy to confirm FC5 was using gdm, once I did this was easy enough to work out what had happened.

I'm not reproducing this with current trees. Are you still seeing it? One thing that also helps if this _can_ be hit is that we give more information about what's going to be installed/removed before actually doing it.
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
