If you want to, for instance, install nedit when it appears in Extras, 
you won't be able to because it'll require openmotif from the [base] 
repo unless you've already got that installed. Or perhaps you just want 
to install a package that you didn't install at install-time. There's a 
reason why it's enabled by default.
