Re: Fine control on FC5 install

I did an FC5 install on a small machine last night, and I was trying to leave as much space as I could. During the install I could select groups of packages to install, but when I clicked to do fine selection, instead of the list of optional features I got a menu of "all options" or "no options" in terms of optional packages. That's not helpful, and not what FC4 does.

Did I miss a step? The help said "don't install optional parts and then fill in after install," which for 30-40 packages is NOT something I'm about to do. hopefully there's a way to regain per-package selection.

There should be an option right up front for a minimal intallation. Then use yumex to see everything there and uninstall what is too much. Be sure to look for language packs that you will never use to uninstall.
