Description of problem: INstallation options do not "stick" in text based mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC 5 How reproducible: Very. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download FC5 from mirrors. Check SHA, burn to CD, check CD with FC5 cd media check. 2.unselect everything- every package. Install webserver (all options), MySQL (all but devl), text based net tools, and that is it. 3. Upon install- X.org is installed, nmap, etc. Actual results: Installation is not as clean as prior editions. No help (concerning what the package is - yes sometimes even I forget with the thousands of packages). Packages that are not intended to be installed are installed. Expected results: The packages that were selected should be installed, packages that were not selected should not be installed, and dep check should give a chance to go back and deselect. Additional info: Installed on: Dell Latitude CSx, 128M ram, 11G HD, 10/100 PCMCIA nic I have been using RH/FC since 1999.
