Last time I checked (in FC2) the minimal install was unfortunately
heavily bloated. On the other hand, when I did the 'install everything'
everything worked right away including, usb keyboard (whichs hangs in
suse), flatscreen at 1280x1024 and sound.

Hello All,
I have been an avid Linux user for a long time now, but must say that I
have been using Mandrake most of that time. That was because I thought
that it was a little more cutting-edge than Red Hat. Now it seems that
the price of that cutting edge was that things do not always work as
good as you would like.
Anyway, I am very eager to try Fedora and see if it is more stable and
compatible with various other applications.
I would like to know if someone could either tell me some of the
specifics, or direct me to some documentation on the Fedora installer.
I want to learn how things are done.
For example I would like to know where in the Stage2.img is the list of
install types and install messages that you see when it is running.
I would like to see what file Fedora uses to define what the "minimal"
install is, or "Server" install list of packages because I need the
absolute smallest install + XWindows and the smallest (simplest) window
manager.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Lonnie
