(People are new to linux, and many of them want to see it on both desktop and server sides, so they want it all) At least for once, until I come up creating a non-conflicting maximum-#-of-packages "package list". This is not the job of the user !! I just want to press a "full install" button, and be "seriously" comfortable that I have all the packages (within the limits of logic, I am not saying glide and zope shall be installed at the same time) installed, and they are not conflicting. Suse redhat etc. does it, still dont know why mdk does not, and why nobody from mandrake agrees totally saying "it will be fixed" or "will work on it" while many ppl are complaining about it.
