The box would of course be checked by default. Apart from the Base packages thingy which was my reason to start this thread, the dialog as such isn't bad. It's pretty much the same thing as on Fedora (let's say, KDE's Apper), even more detailed. What about just not showing the "Select required packages (RECOMMEND)" check-box, unless you use a certain command line option?
