Out of curiosity, what are you considering "the default" here?

Hi Pete,
Probably a poor choice of words on my part. "By default" to ME means
not having to install gcc, Java, LibreOffice, wget, strace, etc., and
fix things like Firefox associations (which I don't yet know how to
do). The installs of Fedora 1 through 14 made sense (didn't use 15 and
16 because of Gnome 3). Versions 17-20 made sense as well. It's
possible the Fedora-Server-inst ISO would have been what I wanted if it
hadn't failed during the install.
I just had some good luck. Installed the RPM Fusion files and have xmms
working with mp3 files. Now to see if Flash is going to work ...
