This is from the docs:
\detailed{When installing Linux, it is not necessary to perform a
``custom'' install since OSCAR will usually install all the software
on which it depends. The main Linux installation requirement is
that some X windowing environment such as GNOME or KDE must be
installed. Typically, a ``Workstation'' install with the ``Software
Development Tools'' group added yields a sufficient installation for
OSCAR to install successfully.}
I guess you can modify it with more detail :)
Cheers,
Bernard
