Yes, doing a simple install selecting every box possible but not going
into individual package selection, one ends up with a distribution in
which a few things that should be here are missing:
- elm/mutt/pine (the mail readers used by most of the Unix using people I
  know)
- telnet
- traceroute
- ntp
Then, there are also a few packages that could be nice to see:
- minicom
- dump
- lsof
- tcpdump
- nc
- finger
- xfig
Of course, it is still possible to install them afterwards, but when you
select everything in the installation phase, there are a few things you
expect to have (in particular things such as telnet!!!).
Anyway, a "Install all packages" button would be nice.
BTW, the install didn't keep my network configuration, I had to do it
again. Maybe because I have no DNS or gateway? (private 192.168.1.x LAN).
