From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030115 Description of problem: While using redhat-config-packages, both during installation of Phoebe 8.0.93 in Anaconda and after installing Phoebe 8.0.93, it seemed that this program is missing some packages. Some of these packages might be important for some people / businesses (some of them I'm using myself for professional use). So I thought it was a bit odd that these weren't available in redhat-config-packages, while they _are_ distributed on the Phoebe 8.0.93 CD's. (I might be wrong about some of them). Also they aren't listed as deprecated in the Release notes. Here are some of the major ones : - Ruby (popular programming language) - Festival (mentioned in "README-Accessibility"). - KDE-Edu (should be available for selection). - MRTG (handy for monitoring routers / switches). - Nedit (Some programmer's favorite editor) - NET-SNMP client utilities (handy for monitor routers /switches). - OpenLDAP (everyone needs a directory system) - Red Hat LSB package (quite fashionable nowadays). - Samba SWAT (very important for Win - Linux connectivity!!!!) - SysReport (nice tool to generate information) - TFTP client / server (necessary for e.g. storing flash of router/switch) - Tripwire (nice to have). I'll include a more complete list at the additional section of this Bugzilla Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (for each of the 3 Phoebe CD's : ls -l /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/ |colrm 1 56 >/tmp/cd1 ls -l /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/ |colrm 1 56 >/tmp/cd2 ls -l /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/ |colrm 1 56 >/tmp/cd3 ) 1. cat cd1 |sed 's/.i386*//' >cd1-without386 2. cat cd1-without386 |sed 's/.rpm*//' >cd1-withoutrpm 3. cat cd1-withoutrpm |sed 's/.noarch*//' >cd1-withoutnoarch 4. cat cd2 |sed 's/.i386*//' >cd2-without386 5. cat cd2-without386 |sed 's/.rpm*//' >cd2-withoutrpm 6. cat cd2-withoutrpm |sed 's/.noarch*//' >cd2-withoutnoarch 7. cat cd3 |sed 's/.i386*//' >cd3-without386 8. cat cd3-without386 |sed 's/.rpm*//' >cd3-withoutrpm 9. cat cd3-withoutrpm |sed 's/.noarch*//' >cd3-withoutnoarch 10. cat /tmp/cd1-withoutnoarch >/tmp/everything 11. cat /tmp/cd2-withoutnoarch >> /tmp/everything 12. cat /tmp/cd3-withoutnoarch >>/tmp/everything 13. sort </tmp/everything >/tmp/everything_sorted 14. rpm -qa >/tmp/allpackages 15. sort </tmp/allpackages >/tmp/allpackages_sorted 16 diff /tmp/allpackages_sorted /tmp/everything Actual Results: I see some extra packages here & there Expected Results: redhat-config-packages should offer all major packages.

We currently just display what's available in comps (there's an RFE that will eventually be handled for an all packages mode)
Not every package is in comps, but that doesn't mean that they aren't available via individual package selection or via kickstart (both during the install). Sorry, but this isn't likely to change for comps itself. If you just want the packages available in redhat-config-packages you should file an RFE bug against redhat-config-packages to have individual package installation for packages not listed in the comps file.
