It looks like I can only right-click on the installer for every install grouping and select install all optional packages.  Wanted to see if there was another way of doing a full install.

While I do realize this model is not good for a production like environment, for my dev platform I want this type of install.

Is there a bug that I need to know about?  I selected all packages to be fully installed except for the additional languages.

I booted from the FC5 rescue cd thinking it was out of drive space, but it had enough free space (I allocated 10GB for the / filesystem).  There was nothing obvious in the log files about why it died.
