I did the minimal install on my ee701.  At least the first attempt.

I set my swap at 768Mb, and left /boot at 500Mb (probably could shrink
this next time).  This left 2.7Gb for /

That swap will be too small for hibernate....

So a minimal install with also selecting Gnome (and deselecting a few
things like snapwell or whatever it is called) resulting in only 737Mb
used in /!  Now I have a local repo, so I was able to select my local
update repo to eliminate the update step.

So when the computer boots, I come up in multiuser, not graphical and it
did not prompt me to create a non-root user and all those other first
time boot options of a regular install.  Sooo...

How do I start gnome so I can use its tools for things like creating my
userID?
Whatelse do I need to set from the 1st time boot?
How do I change the runtime to grahical with no /etc/inittab?  I looked
at what inittab has in it now and tried the ln command:

ln -s /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target

But of course this fails as there already is the symbolic link to
multi-user.

It was quite a pain getting to this point as the ee701 has a narrow
screen and you cannont move the screens in install to see what is off
the bottom of the screen.  You just have to guess....
Not that it's much use now but for future reference, there is an option
to earmark first boot for install at the Optional Installs stage.

But you have to see that, and it is at the bottom of the screen, so I would have have notes on what <alt> key to activate it. It would be nice to find some screenshots of all the f17 install pages....

Oh, and what do I install to get semanage?
