Re: How to install all toolboxes with one command?

[jason . moore]

Can't you just prevent the packages from loading using the -noauto command? 
That way you have all packages available to be loaded when you need them? If 
they aren't loaded is there any reason to believe they will conflict solely by 
having them installed? Curious to know as I'm not sure myself.

I will subscribe to Jordi's words.

Also, this has been asked enough times to deserve an entry on the
