[ale] Installation/Documentation question

[ChrisColeman at mail.clayton.edu]

I know you can choose individual packages and get info about each package.
But that causes you to spend a lot of time looking at each package and
trying to determine if you need/want that package. 

It would be nice if there was a general description of what was included in
each package group. For example, what is the difference between Classic X
Window System and X Window System package groups.

Thanks,
Chris Coleman

If you select the option "let me choose" (or something like that) you
can see what is in each grouping and then pick and choose your stuff. If
something is missing at the end, it will tell and can automatically
install all the required stuff.
