Personally I'm already happy if the kickstart input support will be restored, but the thread is 243 messages long drifting around into off-topic threads (at least wrt to the install-all option) and the couple of messages I picked I hoped to be revealing (I used the author to choose) didn't disclose the real benefit of not allowing everything installs anymore. It wouldn't hurt to summarize the reasoning in a sentence. If the technical bits are there (which obviously will be if it will be supported for kickstart input), then why deprive the user from using the gui/tui to do that? How should the typical user perform an effective everything install? Should he start learning kickstart? It's not a dead horse, there is demand for this feature, and the 243 mail thread on fedora-test-list will be repeated in larger scales on fedora-list once FC5 is out, and will drive the last of us out of fedora-list. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
