Part of the deal is that the install system will take a look at your system - harddrive space, for instance - and then selectively restrict the packages that can fit (with their dependencies) and that meet a general install.
I ALWAYS go to expert mode and manually select specific packages. I have specific needs and desires so I must select this and that. Perhaps you would like a broader selection method: Everything, Workstation - game/multimedia, Workstation - productivity/office, Workstation - minimal, Server - general, Server - mail, Server - web, etc. If you select "EVERYTHING" you will still not get everything unless there are fully enough system resources to take it.
