Well, no it isn't. You might not bother to configure wireless when you install if you don't need it. But that just doesn't apply to this case at all. 'basic graphics mode' is pretty clearly positioned as a workaround for dealing with graphics problems. It is not offered as an option very prominently, you have to go dig and find it. There's no particular reason you'd do so unless you had an explicit reason to. It's not like, on a 'normal' install path, you have a dialog that lets you pick Basic or Not-Basic and some kind of compelling reason to pick Not-Basic. Not-Basic is what 99% of people will see. Basic is something you only see if you picked it explicitly from a fairly obscure place, which is only going to happen if a) you figured or read that you needed to do so to deal with a graphics problem you encountered when first trying in Non-Basic, or b) you twiddle with stuff way more than is good for you.
I tried booting from the install disk, which reminded me the reason I had to use Basic mode for the installation: Basically in the default mode the laptop would just sit there and never present anything than a spinning cursor. It is possible the disk was corrupted - but I was able to use the same disk to boot in Basic mode. Furthermore, I was able to use the same disk to boot in non-basic mode and install F18 in a VirtualBox VM under Windows 7. -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/ -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
