Hmm.
I wonder how I was supposed to know that? It is certainly not self-evident,
and even now you have explained it I cannot see how the words "group" or
"pattern" mean anything I could have guessed. Or yet understand.
I selected "KDE desktop" and "install all" and it is currently installing a lot
of stuff. It will be interesting if I have to do the base too, I expect not.
I originally attributed this to Gnome, because I thought it was a GDM thing.
It's not, it must be some other component - the package installation manager
itself.
I think that the package selection could be a lot clearer - like having a
master KDE item that essentially means "start here". I think the vocabulary
'group' and 'pattern' is not self-evident. I will change the title
appropriately
I am also surprised that I was able to install the subcomponents without some
warning that th res of the system was missing
KDE is comprised of a lot of packages (as is GNOME)
I knew that. That's why I was expecting there to be some top-of-the-tree
selection. I understood that was the purpose of over-arching package
management.
