I'll add my own "me too" to that. I've refrained until now, although I almost responded to Rahul's message when I fist saw it I used to be selective about package installation, but on a recent machine I just selected everything. The main reason is because I run a collection of machines for a couple of dozen researchers at Stanford that do widely different tasks. I used to give them "sudo" access and tell them the basics of "yum" but they couldn't always guess the package names and were frustrated because they would need to install packages on all the machines (although I do provide a script for that.) I talked to a friend who admins a SUSE cluster that just moved to CentOS about what he installs for his people and he does the everything equivalent for similar reasons. I do have to be a little more on top of [SECURITY] announcements (although running on PowerPC its not a serious issue most of the time since I don't know of anyone making linux/ppc specific exploits :)) but I've also turned on nightly automatic yum updates to minimize being out of date on something critical if I happen to be away. However, if its not a choice in the installer, its not a big deal for me anyway. I'll just add the equivalent yum liner to my new machine installation instructions. It might actualyl be better since I found that with the "everything" option I have a long post installation "yum update" since after a release is out a while most packages seem to be updated, especially the big ones like openoffice. If anything, that is an argument for me to have a minimal single CD installation that gets the rest of the files from online. Stanford runs a mirror that I can use so its not really a performance issue. -bri -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
