16:20:54 <pboy> I'll test that again, but I'm sure, if you use
everything DVD you get the wrong preconfiguration. We had a thread
about that on server list.

I'm not finding this thread. But Adamw surely knows the history of
Everything ISO better than I do. My fuzzy memory is that it's sort of
a side effect of how images are made and it's kept around as a catch
all. It's the only way to do a netinstall for any of the desktops. The
default package set is for a minimal install, a.k.a. Fedora Custom.
The idea is to make it straightforward to get a minimum bootable
system and then use dnf to build it up from there.

Just for context, "Everything ISO" e.g.
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-Rawhide-20220124.n.0/compose/Everything/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20220124.n.0.iso

This image defines "automatic" partitioning as btrfs. It's intrinsic
to the image itself what the partitioning defaults to. It's not a
function of the package set, i.e. choosing the Server package set
doesn't get you Server's default partitioning. It's a little
confusing, but it's working as designed, insofar as it has one.

I cc'd Anaconda folks, because I'm not sure exactly where the
"autopart" kickstart command gets defined these days. And also whether
it's worth the effort to make autopart variable based on what edition
or spin is selected in the Everything netinstaller? I'm not sure that
it is.
