When I use Redhat Enterprise 4, and get to the screen for packages to install, I have the option to Customize which packages I want to install. That leads me to a screen showing a tree of catatories. Towards the bottom, I find an "Everything" option. I almost always choose that.
When I learned about CentOS 4.4, and got to the package install screen, the EVERYTHING option was there. I was thrilled!
From the CentOS beta, I thought I would again get the EVERYTHING option, but to my shock, the packages screen actually goes back to the FC5 days, thus no easy (that I could find) way to just select all packages.
Am I missing something? If this is true, and the team is still in development stage, can the EVERYTHING option be restored?
Thanks.

Many, many discussions on this over the years on CentOS and Fedora lists.
Basically CentOS-4 (RHEL-4) was based on Fedora Core-3. This version of Fedora had the "Everything Install" so RHEL-4 had it.
CentOS-5 (RHEL-5) is based on Fedora-6. This version of Fedora lost the "Everything install" so RHEL-5 doesn't have it.
It's not coming back so you'll have to work round it ;-)
