Group removal is exactly what I brought up yesterday. I would be satisfied  
with the above mockup, provided that the screen that comes up with details  
gives the apportunity to toggle the selection of individual packages in the  
group - dependencies permitting of course (one option is to gray out with  
package locked if required by another package; or ripple through to  
dependants, where if I toggle off a package that others depend on those get  
deselected too).

Group install should have the similar capability. I may not want the exact set  
that is defined in comps.

Thanks, Willem Riede.
