- installation time is not linear with the size to install. It grows slower with big installs. - moreover many packages are dangerous, doing various things you would not want. - if you really want a "Install All", you can have it quite easily after install. - RedHat has (very) few packages which explain why "Install All" is no such big deal for them (hell, they don't even have "rxvt" anymore!) > It would be even nicer if all extra services beyond those required to > normally operate the system are OFF by default when installed.

Cf cooker archives - only services that have a useful default configuration are on by default
