I've manually installed KDE desktop (yum install<pkg> ..., i.e. without anaconda) and found that no fonts were installed.
Use "yum groupinstall" to add a desktop.
Which group should I install? yum install @base-x is definitely not a good choice, it installs a lot of packages I don't really want. It's 107 additional packages to my current installation.
@base-x is a pretty broken comps group, to be honest. I'd really like to see a split between "the minimal stuff needed to make X work" and "a bunch of desktop-agnostic stuff".
Actually, that's not true. Someone should own the choose-your-own-adventure desktop experience and come up with a decent way of selecting devilspie/fluxbox/twm/ratpoison etc. And I'm going to bet that that won't be comps groups, which means they shouldn't be listed in comps at all.
