Without yum, Minimal is suddenly not Fedora. It's like the brim is totally missing. +1 yum/rpm is the core of a linux-distribution all other dependencies in my opinion should be as less as possible - if you decide "minimal" you should be aware if some packages are missing, in the worst case the firmware of your NIC but even this is solveable easy by put it on a CD/USB or mount a ISO in a VM to get network access - on the other side if you have no firmwares, apckages you are not active using you are able to make really tight systems having 20 of them affects how large the roofs has to be for your needs x count of instalaltions in a virtual environment after the setup it affects the amount of downloads for updates * mirror load * time for the updates * possible temporary dependency-problems * space fpr full vm-images (backups) * time for restore of the backups * time for cloning test-VMs cunclusion: even in days of really large and cheap disks there are many reasons fro as small as possible system footprints and in days of more and more VM/cloud setups this becomes meaningful in many cases
