Is it possible to use a netinstall CD/DVD to install only the Minimal_Platform? The test page doesn't mention anything about this but the Features page seems to imply this.
If this is possible, I would be very much interested in testing it out :-)
Hi, currently there is option for minimal install only in anaconda text mode. As for grafic mode you have to deselect all optional packages. This is IMO unpleasant limitation which should be fixed sooner or later. Another way to go now is to use kickstart file install (example is linked from MinimalPlatform feature page).
