	I'm not sure what you're getting at here -- are you saying that anaconda 
	is not installing all packages you have selected?  Could you clarify 
	this comment?

That's exactly what I'm saying. In the curses/text version of the tool, when
you go into each group it lists all the rpm packages which are in that group,
including the optional ones. The GUI version does not, offering a much smaller
subset. Selecting packages like openMPI and pvm in the curses/text version of
the tool, does not cause them to be installed. Ditto for a large number of other
tools that I normally install, that are optional.
