Description Bill Nottingham 2007-10-12 03:45:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

If you're already installing from rawhide, a full mirror, or some other
'everything' tree, the 'Additional Software' checkbox doesn't actually gain you
anything.

Not that there's really a good way to solve this or *know* that you're
installing from a 'full' repo.

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

anaconda-11.3.0.38-1
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2007-10-12 14:53:58 UTC 
Shouldn't actually cost you anything, though -- we set the repo cost for your
base repo to be lower and so packages will be preferentially grabbed from there.
 I'm not sure it's really worth the effort to plumb through a way of determining
this
Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2007-11-20 19:31:54 UTC 
Closing as WONTFIX on the basis of comment #1.  We can always go back and work
on this later if we come up with something clever.
