what you want. DHCP will install during set up. When

servers and mark 'DHCP'. Then you are good to go.
A short cut for you (if yo really want a FULL install)
might be to simply select the header box of each tab.
That should auto-select everything  below it. Although
I can't swear to it. Good luck my man.

Hey everyone!
I wasn't able to find much on this in the archives,
so I'll give it a shot
here...
We just got Mandrake 10 in our computer science lab.
We were using Redhat 7,
and Mandrake seems a whole lot better. My question
is, how can I do a
complete install of all packages? It does not seem
like I am able to select
everything during installation, even if I select the
Select Individual
Packages option. For instance, we need to use bind
and the dhcp server for
one of the classes and these packages can only be
installed  after
everything else, via the mandrake control center or
through an rpm. I mostly
want to be able to install everything for
experimental purposes and doing it
all in one shot would be nice. Anyone have any
insight into this? It would
be appreciated!

If you could do an automatic full install it would be a mess. Some of the 
packages available do not play well with others as they are hardware 
specific . If you tick the select individual packages  and then on the next 
screen click on the icon that looks like two arrows chasing each other in a 
circle, you will have a choice of adding several thousand packages. Although 
the long list of library packages can be skipped cause they auto select for 
the other packages you need them for.  This list has bind and rpmrebuild all 
available for the install. Someone on the list knows how to make an install 
cd to slip into other comps to get the same packages?  It used to be a choice 
but not anymore, on the initial installation.  HTH

For a newbies '2 cents' worth, why not select all options when prompted 
for type of 'box' you are running. ie. Workstation, Server, etc
That way you will get installed at least one of each type of app without 
it doubling up. [ie. one mail server, one firewall, etc.] Or is this 
option no longer available?
