It strikes me that the installer ought to offer a couple of choices before and after you've picked your packages: After: Save this as a file, so you can repeat the process (on the same machine or another). Without you having to organise that post-install. Before: Use such a file on the installation. Again, I see no need why you should have to mess around with creating anaconda scripts, if you've installed it once in a way that you're happy with, it ought to be easy to duplicate it. Beyond that thought, it annoys me how you'll deselect some particular package from a group, then when you open up another group to customise, that package has been selected again. For instance, I dislike the BIND GUI configuration tool. I deselect it in one group (e.g. doodahs for Gnome), but it's reselected in another (e.g. administration tools, or whatever it's specifically called). No, I don't recall the particular groups it's in, but it's that sort of palaver. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
