Hello,
That's something I've been desiring for very long,
and which is still not present in 9.1 beta2.
That would be very nice to be able to install all available packages:
- After installation, you don't have to go back several times
to the package installer to install tools, headers or libraries
that you missed or that new users ask for. That takes quite a lot of time
during the first days and weeks after installation. That's the main reason.
- Trying to select as many packages as possible is not easy through
the package selection dialog. You have to unfold all lists and sublis
in all software categories, and this is not sufficient, as some packages
are not available in these lists.
- Having all packages available makes it easier to deploy security updates.
You just need to get and install ALL security update packages, and that's all.
You have no trouble because you hadn't initially installed some of the
packages that need updating now.
I hope there is no technical reason that would prevent from doing that,
as other GNU/Linux distros propose that (Red Hat 8.0's Anaconda, for example).
I suggest other users to vote for this suggestion if they find it useful!
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Cheers,
Michael
