Bonjour,

I can read on this page:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/Installation_Guide/chap-d...

<quote>

netinstall Image
    The netinstall image boots directly into the installation
environment, and uses the online Fedora package repositories as the
installation source. With a netinstall image, you can select a wide
variety of packages to create a customized installation of Fedora.
    The Fedora Server netinstall image is a universal one, and can be
used to install any Fedora flavor or your own set of favorite packages.

No link is provided.... So what poor people like me can do?

Thanks for any light.

OK! Thanks! *But* it is only for fedora server....

Where can we clearly find a *real* doc on what is inside the package
we download, what will the installer install on our computer if we
choose "workstation" or "server" or.... What softwares. The "download
fedora" web page is now so light that we cannot know all these things!
Do Fedora people think that we so stupid that we cannot understand or
choose our tools to work with?

This looks like M$ philosophy: put the install CD/DVD in your drive
and let big brother take care of you!

Did you actually try to go though the install process?

Nope! And I did not download the netinstall iso: 1.9 Gb 1 hour to
download.... For what? Maybe something I do not need? Why can't we
find *clear* information on what is provided *before* downloading?

The netinstall images aren't 1.9GB!

Netinstall Images:

64-bit 424MB image
32-bit 482MB image

And the "Software Selection" it offers is exactly what you quoted in your original message....

The netinstall image boots directly into the installation
environment, and uses the online Fedora package repositories as the
installation source. With a netinstall image, you can select a wide
variety of packages to create a customized installation of Fedora.
    The Fedora Server netinstall image is a universal one, and can be
used to install any Fedora flavor or your own set of favorite packages.

Here is a small sample ....  http://goo.gl/OBZxRQ

Reread the thread so far, maybe it will help.
