When I last saw windows, what the installer was doing after the reboot was essential system configuration. Maybe roughly equivalent to our firstboot, but that's another story. This is completly different to selecting additional packages to install. Most, if not all people install packages to an installed system (rebooted after install). I really don't know what's the problem with it -- install a (fairly complete, when it comes to the Live media) system, reboot and then add a couple of apps you use. -- Lubomir Kundrak (Red Hat Security Response Team) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
