Reini,

You are genius! (And so is who ever wrote setup to select "Install" for=20
"All" on the Category page)

I did not realize that on the Category page you could click on each=20
category or All to apply the same action to all the sub elements.=20
Clicking to set All to Install (so that all the packages are marked=20
install) works like a charm without needing to edit any setup.ini or=20
installed.db files! Of course I've only given it a quick test run, but=20
this looks very promising.

Thanks much - you are all fabulous!

Cheers
Dave
