However you will find that in practice this command results in numerous conflicts. Some programs will not co-exist with others. For example vsftpd does not like proftpd and bind does not like cacheing-nameserver. Don't get me wrong. I was one who begged for the install everything option to be retained as were many others (certainly more than 10 as someone maintained in a previous post). Those many others may not have had the savvy to file "enhancement requests" to bugzilla to make their case and so resorted to the message boards and mailing lists. Because normal users have not been initiated into the inner sanctum where the elite of Fedora development make the decisions their wants and needs for the most part go unnoticed or unheeded. -- Stanton Finley http://stanton-finley.net/ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
