And "everything" meant just that. An everything install option should had been even a must for the test releases. There are bugs that emerge only in bad synergies of packages. I just installed FC5t3, clicked on any funny checkbox there was and I get a system w/o emacs ... BTW I found a bugzilla entry [2] which contrary to R. Sundaram's report [1] stated that this was just due to missing yum glue and not a permanent state: [1] http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=438011&postcount=4 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177621 Let's hope a coming rawhide cut will have this restored in one way or another. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
