The live distribution gives you no software selection option, indeed. You may use the
network install (e.g.
http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x8...).
It gives you back a "virtual DVD“. Not as detailed as it previously used to be.

There is a net install option as well which might give you more options. Haven’t tried
yet.
I have used the netinstall on several commputers. I do an minimal
install with just enough X to run a graphical desktop, then I run a
script to install the software that I want on each computer. Not all
computers get the same software. Works great.
