So what. There should still be an easier way to get it installed.
Instead of not including nfs-common in Application Manager why don't
we change the name to Software Manager or Feature Manager. This is a
poor excuse for not including it and I hope this is not the reason
it's not in there any more.

That's why we have categories for the apps. You will only see all of
them if you click on "All". BTW - There are way too many categories.
We need to trim these down a bit.

For me and you yes, but the general user I think is going to be
happier with point and click.
