Something similar to this was available (the "bloat" slider in 7.x) before, and
was intentionally removed, since:
1)It is not possible to install all packages, with conflicting packages (at
least tmdns and bind at present, there are more).
2)It is not sensible to install all OpenOffice.org i18n packages, when the
installer knows which languages you have selected
3)Extra servers should not be installed if not specifically requested, since the
user probably will not configure them. Mandrake defaults in most cases to start
servers by default if they are installed (since if you install it, chances are
you want to use it). Install all servers would thus be a potential security risk.
4)You may want to leave some space for contrib.
FYI (my desktop running 9.0 at present):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bgmilne]$ df /
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hde6 8256888 6737704 1099760 86% /
(/home is seperate and almost nothing is on / that was not installed from RPMs)
Your 4GB is not nearly enough for all of contrib and cooker, and you would spend
more time unselecting than selecting ...
Anyway, since with Mandrake it is trivial to install packages not installed at
setup time, there is no need for Mandrake to follow RHs bad choices. If you are
missing something, just:
# urpmi <package name>
And change disks (or don't, if you have a local or network source, or a DVD).
So, marking as won'tfix

There is no easy way to select all the packages. Red Hat 8.0 has an
"Everything" option. It would be nice, even if everything was too big (I am
currently using 4 GB partitions to test with), if I could select everything and
then sort by size of package (enhancement request) so that I could remove the
largest packages that I don't care about until it fits. It should only check
for enough space (and give an error if there isn't enough) when the user clicks
"Install" -- this would allow the user to do what I said (select everything,
even if it's too much, then pare it down).
This is Mandrake 9.1 beta 3.
