I'll give you another 'good' reason to have a <Intall Everything> 'Option', If for any reason I miss a selection from the loooong list of additional packages I want to install, (even if I never use them). By selecting 'packages' at initiall installation stage, it takes care of all dependancies, but, if I install later on, always have to search for a lot of aditional libraries. What I am trying to expalin is, It IS better to have all those packages resolve dependancies and install related libraries at initial install or upgrade, than having to go picking one by one later on. And is just an <option> for those of us who want to have everything installed, maybe not for someone with a limited space (small hdd.) my 0.02 SK
