Has anyone ever installed everything???

[Ocxic]

well,, I was just wondering if anyone has ever had the notion to try installing everything in the repositories.

I've made a mirror for myself just for fun and just had the idea..

I'm thinking that would take a while

I'm sure you might hit a roadblock somewhere, particularly in installing kernel-related stuff.

there are a couple things (maybe a lot who knows) that cant be intalled when a certain package is installed

the best example i can think of.....if you try to install totem-xine while totem-gstreamer is installed, it will remove totem-gstreamer. so therefore just right there you cant install EVERYTHING in the repos.

No...There are apps i will never use,so I see no reason to install them.

Good old Debian does all the work.

I was thinking more of back when I wasn't sure which video driver to install so I tried installing all of them and it wouldn't let me.
