Help Needed: FC5 Blocker List and Rawhide Install Testing

I could help for testing installations these latest days.
I have a Dell 6650 with 4x3GHz cpus (8 with HT enabled) and 4GB of ram.
 I can use it for 2-3 weeks.
I have configured the dell with pxe boot, picking up kickstart file
via http from one server and installing via nfs from another server
(this last is a FC5 X86_64 workstation).
It works with fc5 test3. I'm going to automate the process of updating
pxeboot fc 5 images and nfs repository, so that in about 25 minutes I
can have the machine installed from scratch.
and test on a daily basis or request basis (matching with my free
time, of course...)
Some questions:
- any particular %packages directive is suggested for better help?
can I use something like @all ? I have not seen in interactive
installation a way to install everything, like before...
If anyone has any test to be run on this machine, I'm available.
