Right, that's true. I remember doing that a lot. IIRC, if choosing a
minimal install the first two CDs would suffice (if the stars were
properly aligned I think - ISTR that it broke at one point).
Anyway, people can still do that, right? (honest question, not trolling.
I don't really know; these days I never use anything but the Live CD to
install.)
yep. In f11 it's called netinst.
Fedora-11-i386-netinst.iso
for example.
it's 177MB. Which is pretty light weight. It has stage2 on it iirc.
