(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!
