I have had problems with choosing everything in the past. The main thing is with all the language packages that it puts on your system. They are a bear for program removal or updating. I've also had dependecies errors before with everything chosen. I had a similar problem with the login recycling. It was either when I used apt-get and used RH8 as my current release, then typed the "yes, I really want to do this. prompt. i would only choose server, then other packages that you want also to include. I chose server, then KDE, GNOME, mc, lynx, festival, a few databases etc. I think that when you chose everything. It tried to install all the 1400 pieces. some of them might have interdependacy problems. It was fine during the one CD distribution days. but for 3 CD installations, It is probably not a good thing to do. jim > > Raymond Lillard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Product Systems, Inc. > > -- > Phoebe-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list -- Air Force Inertia Axiom: Consistency is always easier to defend than correctness. -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
