I don't need avahi, for example, and it's impossible to remove without taking down the whole system. > To do a minimal install, when the main anaconda (install) window > appears, click where it says "Gnome Desktop" and scroll down to find > "minimal".

But if I did that, could I have installed what I have now without, for example, avahi installed? -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
