Re: system-config-packages - everything group

Travis,

I would just install FC2.  It will upgrade your existing packages you have in RH9
if they're on the FC2 disks.  Then decide what additional packages you want and
add or update those.  There are probably things that you don't want with an
"Everything" install like multiple web browsers and desktops.

This approach works for me.
