I agree, but with a caveat specified. Everything should not truly be _everything_ !! If I select an English language install, then everything should not dump *all* the other languages onto my system. An everything install should dump everything for the _language chosen_ onto my system. This little selection refinement makes several hundred megabytes difference in install size. aspell, OOo, man pages, etc. are areas of major bloat if it does not limit the selection to honor the language I have selected for my install. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
