[Solved] Package Selection

In the beginners guide it says:

Package selection is split into two stages. First, you will select package categories, then you will be presented will the full lists of packages in the selected categories, allowing you to fine-tune your selections. The space bar selects and unselects the categories.

and it gives the categories BASE, SUPPORT, DEVEL, LIB

but on my install CD the "Select Package Categories" screen only says base-devel and if I select that it gives me a list with some packages selected already. So do just select base-devel and select all the packages listed under it?

Re: [Solved] Package Selection

The latest installer installs all of base by default, but the beginners guide does not reflect that yet.  The only optional category at this time is base-devel.
