Software Selection
     __________________________________________________________

   The Software Selection screen allows you to choose a Base
   Environment and Add-ons. These options control which software
   packages will be installed on your system during the
   installation process.

   This screen is only available if Installation Source is
   properly configured and only after the installer has downloaded
   package metadata from the source.

Note

   It is not possible to select specific packages during a manual
   installation. You can only select pre-defined environments and
   add-ons. If you need to control exactly which packages are
   installed, you must use a Kickstart file and define the
   packages in the %packages section. See the full Fedora
   Installation Guide, available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/
   for information about Kickstart installations.

   The availability of environments and add-ons depends on your
   installation source. By default, the selection depends on the
   installation media you used to start the installation; Fedora
   Server installation image will have different environments and
   add-ons available for selection than, for example, the Fedora
   Cloud image. You can change this by configuring a different
   installation source containing different environments.

   To configure your software selection, first choose an
   environment on the left side of the screen. Only one
   environment can be chosen, even if more are available. Then, on
   the right side of the screen, select one or more add-ons which
   you want to install by marking the check boxes next to each
   add-on.

   The list of add-ons is divided into two parts by a horizontal
   line. Add-ons above this line are defined as part of your
   chosen environment; if you select a different environment, the
   add-ons available here will change. The add-ons displayed below
   the separator are not specific to your chosen environment.

   Environments and add-ons are defined using a comps.xml file in
   your installation source (for example, in the repodata/
   directory on the full Fedora Server installation DVD). Review
   this file to see exactly which packages will be installed as
   part of a certain environment or add-on. For more information
   about the comps.xml file, see the full Fedora Installation
   Guide, available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/.

   After you finish configuring your software selection, click
   Done in the top left corner to return to Installation Summary.
