Re: [MLUG] bare minimum fedora 7 install

["shawn parker" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

this is why i dislike fedora, and even red hat, now. they removed the
one feature that i always used, the "minimal install" option. i won't
use them outside of work.

now, you _have_ to install a lot of bloat into the system unless you
want to spend hours customizing.

my suggestion, ubuntu server or debian.
