I already said we don't have to call the category "All". Did you miss that part? The fact that we have something called a "meta-package" is irrelevant. The problem of package conflicts has no bearing *at all* on this. You could just as easily have categories called "Work Station" if you wanted. This proposed plan would first present you with the opportunity to select "Workstation" and then you'd get another screen. Hmm. Development. Does this mean "Workstation Development"? Does it mean "All of the development tools that make sense for a Work Station"? >Workstation is a custom set of choices, its going to not nescerly do >what you want... you fine tune such things yourself post fact. All - >implies all ... I dont really see anyway of it meaning anything else. Sigh. Somebody shoot me, please. I am really sick of these setup discussions. cgf
