If you could do an automatic full install it would be a mess. Some of the packages available do not play well with others as they are hardware specific . If you tick the "select individual packages " and then on the next screen click on the icon that looks like two arrows chasing each other in a circle, you will have a choice of adding several thousand packages. Although the long list of library packages can be skipped cause they auto select for the other packages you need them for. This list has bind and rpmrebuild all available for the install. Someone on the list knows how to make an install cd to slip into other comps to get the same packages? It used to be a choice but not anymore, on the initial installation. HTHThere is not an option for total install and if you have one of the power-packs it would be a pretty huge install indeed.
I would suggest choosing "Select Individual Packages" as you mentioned and then press the next button and painstakingly go through proceeding list and select what you want. DHCP will install during set up. When looking through your list of options tab "network > servers" and mark 'DHCP'. Then you are good to go.
A short cut for you (if yo really want a FULL install) might be to simply select the header box of each tab. That should auto-select everything below it. Although I can't swear to it. Good luck my man.

Hey everyone!
I wasn't able to find much on this in the archives, so I'll give it a shot here...
We just got Mandrake 10 in our computer science lab. We were using Redhat 7, and Mandrake seems a whole lot better. My question is, how can I do a complete install of all packages? It does not seem like I am able to select everything during installation, even if I select the "Select Individual Packages" option. For instance, we need to use bind and the dhcp server for one of the classes and these packages can only be installed after everything else, via the mandrake control center or through an rpm. I mostly want to be able to install everything for experimental purposes and doing it all in one shot would be nice. Anyone have any insight into this? It would be appreciated!

That way you will get installed at least one of each type of app without it doubling up. [ie. one mail server, one firewall, etc.] Or is this option no longer available?
