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@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: jimacornette@netscape.net QAContact: kwade@redhat.com CC: kwade@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-Installe...
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.
