Are we > actually suggesting that the default package set is *not* useful? :). The first one is for the 'default' package set - the several GB you get from the DVD, including X and GNOME and so on. The second is for the 'minimal' package set. > I get what Petr is going for, but either of these wordings don't get > it across to me.

Perhaps we should just explicitly refer to 'the installer's "minimal" package set' or something like that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
