If you want an *interactive* 'everything' option, you just need to 
generate a comps.xml file which has all the packages listed as default in 
some 'everything' grouping.

I've not tried this -- we normally want to install as few packages as we 
can get away with so we can keep track of what we have (and configured), 
and 'cos the install time is long enough anyway!

I suspect from how the code seems to behave that you can probably do this 
from an 'additional repo' and so avoid needing to mess with the repodata 
tree from upstream (I mean SL not TUV here)...

Of course I could be completely wrong :-)

Failing that just create an rpm which claims to depend on all the packages 
and the depsolver should pull them all in.

Beware of clashes between packages though, since you will end up being 
unable to install those which clash and anaconda may just give up!

Trying to decide what goes into 'Everything' when you can't realy have all 
packages is tricky which is probably why they dropped it -- oh and the 
obvious security implications...
