Only the packages in comps are made visible in the gui. However many packages are not listed in comps, as they only exist as a dependency of something else. There is no need to clutter the UI with hundreds of libfoo packages. Therefor there are many packages on the DVD which cannot be visibly selected, but would be used as deps depending on which packages you /do/ select. Since in my opinion the purpose of the test is to make sure that somebody /could/ select everything and complete the install, I feel that the above method is just right for completing the test. > > Why there isn't a button that just does the equivalent of > the above nonsense with the keyboard and mouse is beyond my > comprehension. > Long history of arguing over the "Everything" button and what it means, since it surely isn't "everything" on the DVD, no Everything in every repository you may have selected, including all the optional languages etc.. etc.. There was just too much argument over the meaning of the button, so the button was removed. Now there is no argument about it. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
