Interesting - you were talking about a server install, and got an answer about how to do a server install without downloading a bunch of stuff you didn't want. Now you are complaining that you that doing a desktop install using the server install method is too hard for your wife. (Without checking out what is involved as well.) The funny part is that you were also given the information on how to do a desktop install, but you were too lazy to check that out as well. Your posts indicate that you have no idea about what he was talking about. You seem to be under the impression that Fedora is, or should be, targeted at "normal Windows users". As others have tried to point out to you, this is NOT the case. I know it is hard for you to understand, but different Linux distributions are targeted at different types of users. It is not like Windows, where they try to produce a "one size fits all" package. If you want to consider Fedora a "geek's toy", feel free. That is closer to the target it is aimed at then "normal Windows users" would be. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
