Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185231 Summary: Fedora Core 5 Release notes - select /deselect all option should be added to edition Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: normal Component: release-notes AssignedTo: relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: jimacornette(a)netscape.net QAContact: kwade(a)redhat.com CC: kwade(a)redhat.com Description of problem: When trying to install a system using the new installer which is now divided in groups, I found selecting each optional package one at a time to be time consuming and easily prone to oversight for selecting optional packages. It was revealed through filing another bug report that right clicking on the group will allow selection or allow you to not select all of the subpackages within the notes. http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/test3-latest-en/#sn-Insta... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Run installer, look for obvious interface to allow for selecting or not selecting optional packages within group. Notice no obvious selection method. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run installer 2. Select Groups for packages 3. Select optional packages from groups selected Actual results: Time consuming and prone to error from individual selection, one at a time. The option not being obvious needs mentioned in the release notes to aid those installing a system. Expected results: Easier method to select all optional packages within a group. Additional info: There were threads related to "Everything Installations". This is not for everything but to aid in allowing quicker and more complete installations. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

However, you may still fully customize your package selection. Refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/PackageSelection for more details. + * Optional package selection has also been enhanced. In the custom package selection dialog, you can right-click any package group, and select or deselect all optional packages at one time. * Firewall and SELinux configuration has been moved to the ''Setup Agent'' (`firstboot`), the final phase of the graphical installation process. * The timezone configuration screen now features zooming areas on the location selection map. * This release supports remote logging via {{{syslog}}}. To use this feature, add the option {{{syslog=host:port}}} at the boot prompt. The {{{:port}}} specifier is optional.
