Yes, when I couldn't find the full install DVD I settled for the Mate-Compiz spin and have been configuring it for the last few days. I now have to manually install a whole lot of packages that were just there by default before.

Out of curiosity, what are you considering "the default" here?

Hi Pete,
Probably a poor choice of words on my part. "By default" to ME means not having to install gcc, Java, LibreOffice, wget, strace, etc., and fix things like Firefox associations (which I don't yet know how to do). The installs of Fedora 1 through 14 made sense (didn't use 15 and 16 because of Gnome 3). Versions 17-20 made sense as well. It's possible the Fedora-Server-inst ISO would have been what I wanted if it hadn't failed during the install.
I just had some good luck. Installed the RPM Fusion files and have xmms working with mp3 files. Now to see if Flash is going to work ...

Okay, I thought it might be something like that :) There is of course no 'Jim' or 'Pete' package set on any install media, but I'll share a trick: use the `show-installed` utility. It can create a list of packages for you to feed to yum after install, or create a kickstart format for use during install.
