That's a bit of a pity for those liking to do minimal installs.
Are there going to be any available net installs that, by default, install
the standard Fedore repos instead of the modular server ones?
I would be surprised if I'm the only one who likes to install that way.
Obviously, there are workarounds, but it would be nice if something similar
was available by default.
Thanks, as always.
Minimal installs haven't ever been Fedora Server though. But maybe you
want a minimal install and then group install server?
Anyway, with the existing
getfedora.org, at the very bottom is and
option, Alternative Downloads. That takes you here:
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/
If you download Everything, it's a netinstaller that includes a
Software Selection option and in there is a minimal install as well as
Fedora Custom OS, and the F27 version has the same interface and
options.
