Oh yes, it was definitively a very good release.  It's still the #1
here.  Too bad it has issues with nfs (race conditions in autofs4,
fixed in 5) and the kernel is getting too old for current hardware.

A "everything" repository is something different.  "Core" was a bunch
of packages you could all install together without conflicts and you
ended up with something rather nice.  Then extras allowed you to add
what your specific needs required.

The current DVD package list, which is supposed to replace Core from
what was said, does not install as-is (conflict between generic-logos
and fedora-logos, conflicts everywhere with multilib).  I don't know
about the "nice" part yet, I've yet to be able to install it
completely.

You can't do a kickstart install with a static IP.  It's just a bug,
though, not by design.

All these issues are at installation time and as such don't really
show up in rawhide.

  OG.
