And that shows you how long it's been since I needed to do a fresh 
install.  I have no problem with getting extra things installed for 
dependency, but I would have a problem with being forced to have every 
text editor Fedora offers installed instead of letting me decide which 
ones I want on my computer.  Linux is supposed to be about choice, but 
from what I've been reading, whoever is maintaining Anaconda seems to be 
doing their best to give users as little choice as possible.
