Seems to me that the installer is a just fine place to select what's to be installed. And if anaconda doesn't get the X configuration right (and it doesn't every time), the X-enabled FirstBoot situation never exists. The X-enabled anaconda situation does, though. When I installed Fedora yesterday, anaconda gave me enough control to tell it not to install sendmail.cf and to install postfix. When I booted after the install, postfix was not started, and sendmail was the MTA. This does not happen when I can select individual packages. Easily fixed, but additional and unnecessary things to check for and do. -- Glenn English ghe@xxxxxxxxxxx
