I stated back when it was Red Hat 9, before the fedora came out, and liked
using the DVD options, and then selecting more to install.
The live distribution gives you no software selection option, indeed. You may use the network install (e.g. http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-22.iso). It gives you back a "virtual DVD“. Not as detailed as it previously used to be.
Also, didn't like the server option, since tried it on another machine, and it
didn't install the graphical desktop??
Even doing an update you have to say nonproduction (?)
Perhaps there is an option to still do this, but the default download I got
seemed to be very limited.
There is a net install option as well which might give you more options. Haven’t tried yet.
I have used the netinstall on several commputers. I do an minimal
install with just enough X to run a graphical desktop, then I run a
script to install the software that I want on each computer. Not all
computers get the same software. Works great.
