I too noticed that the 7.2 installation runs through a lot of options I am
used to choosing. One being the "type" of installation.
What I did was to simply choose recommended install and then using rpmdrake,
install all the libraries, compilers and help files i required. Not as
simple, but did the trick for me anyway.
