Yeah, add ram. Anaconda needs like 1/2 gig, and nevermind trying to Fedora w/ 1/2gig as well... Text mode install for a minimal system, then installgroup xfce and claws and a few other apps instead of evolution and gnome. That's a reasonably quick way to debloat Fedora and actually get work done. Useful on bigger boxes too as the desktop is much snappier and starts far faster. I've tried installing XFCE on f12 lately, and just get a lovely background and nothing else. pgpII21auy0y7.pgp Description: PGP signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

After using Fedora and Ubuntu for a couple of years, I am wondering about Fedoras' future, so I have some questions to help me decide. Q1, taking into account Fedoras political and legal worries about patents and codecs, the stuff thats commonly used by everyone who don't care about and are not subject to U.S laws, will Fedora versions in the future offer something like Ubuntu, where as there is a restricted installed by default repo, to get codecs like playing a MP3 or movie, or automatically get and install wireless firmware/drivers, detecting whats needed, and popping up a warning that it might be illegal to use this where you live blah blah blah do you accept risks click OK and it goes and gets and installs whatever it is, just like ubuntu does? Probably not. Q2, Will Fedora release a LTS (long term support) version that is supported for 3 years or so, just like Ubuntu. No that's not the model, see the thread entitled why I want to stop using fedora Botton line, there are alternatives to the Fedora Bleeding Edge either live with it, run you're favorite Fedora version until it won't run any more (personally test for me is F10 on my personal laptop, F8 is my home desktop, F6 is a webserver of sorts and I run CentOs 5 on my machines at work), or move on. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
