I'm pretty sure we [anaconda] never made that promise.
The names of the tasks maybe need more description. The reason they are radio
buttons instead of checkboxes is that the choices indicate preset lists of yum
package groups to install. You can select a task and all of the default
packages (as defined in comps) for the groups in that task will get installed,
as well as any package dependencies. As of now, this is what the task
definition looks like for Fedora:
Graphical Desktop
admin-tools
base
base-x
core
editors
fonts
games
gnome-desktop
graphical-internet
graphics
hardware-support
input-methods
java
office
printing
sound-and-video
text-internet
Software Development
base
base-x
core
development-libs
development-tools
editors
fonts
gnome-desktop
gnome-software-development
graphical-internet
graphics
hardware-support
input-methods
java
text-internet
x-software-development
Web Server
admin-tools
base
base-x
core
editors
gnome-desktop
graphical-internet
hardware-support
java
text-internet
web-server
Minimal
core
These are the same group names that can be used in the %packages section of a
kickstart file, in @groupname syntax.
We can modify these tasks, change the names, or add new ones. File bugs
against anaconda accordingly.
Keep in mind that the idea behind these tasks is to greatly simplify the job
of selecting software for installation. They are intended to hit the most
common use cases and avoid the need for users to get in to a detailed package
selection mode. Users wanting finegrained control over what packages get
installed already have that. You can already customize the package list or
build a kickstart file to your liking.
