Hi Anil,

The Live CD contains a small portion of the packages in Fedora. The
Installation DVD contains more, but still only a fraction of the total
available packages.

You can add additional packages at any time using the menu option
System>Administration>Add/Remove Software or by using the yum command
(or pkcon). For example, you can add most of the basic software
development tools with this one command:

	yum groupinstall 'Development Libraries' 'Development Tools'

...will install most of the packages needed for basic development. You
can allso install individual packages:

	yum install gcc
