installing all packages is very bad idea. many of them may conflict in installation process or after it.
Completely agree.
I can also confirm that its impossible to install everything on CentOS-6. That is by design, there are functional overlaps that are enforced at the rpm level that prevent you from doing so.
But the in multitude of Centos 5 (all-) installs I have done since 2007, I never had any such issues.
KB: I assume this was done for some useful purpose, not simply to make sure nobody can install everything if they want to...
back in the RH5/6 days (not RHEL) I used to commonly choose an "everything" installation. now that the distribution is so big I don't even try, anymore.
