Fedora 11 Live Install vs Full Install

[GPIA7R]

I installed the full 64-bit Fedora 11 on my main PC at home, and the Live USB 32-bit version on my Netbook. What is my netbook going to be missing that my full version has? Are there any specific things I should install now to bring my Live installation up to speed?

Typically what's left out of the Live version of installs?

Thanks!

I cannot answer your main question as I am not running Fedora at all at the moment. I am sure there is a list of included apps somewhere though.

The reason I am posting is to ask you a different question. What do you NEED installed? You are concerned with "getting up to speed" but this is looking at it the wrong way. The live CD install probably includes many things you will never use, let alone the full Monty DVD. I would just run it as it is and see what is lacking yourself. Just install things as you need them. The repo is free and it aint going anywhere, it will be there when you need it and it only takes a few seconds to DL and install an app.

edit: Just reread your post and as you are running a netbook I would definitely think twice before loading it up with bloat!

Well this will be my first venture into a big Linux distro, and first time with Fedora. I just don't want to feel like I'm missing something or missing out. Who knows, I may not know the potential of the OS if I don't dig around and run into something convenient? I dunno.

I guess I just want to experience all that's there, even though, realistically, I doubt I'd notice or mess with most of it.

Generally speaking Linux is very modular, so there are many routes you can take. I think from your standpoint you will want OO.o and Gimp and Firefox. I am not sure if the USB ISO leaves any of these out. Those are the main apps. If you did the full default install with the DVD then you have the complete Fedora experience there. Use that as an example for what you may need on the netbook. Just about everyone gets "app happy" when they first start in Linux because all the programs are free and easily downloaded. Heck, I have been the king of this running up 30GB installs not even counting any personal data!!! I just enjoyed playing. Nothing wrong with that, but you will want to keep the netbook light. A good place to start would be to find out what services you can turn off. Use the big computer to play and find the appropriate apps for the netbook.

I would install the Live CD to netbooks... It gives you a minimal install... After all netbooks aren't meant as a full laptop/desktop replacement... More or less power to get email and surf the net and write documents... One program you may want to consider as downloading after install is Openoffice. I've never worked with the goffice that comes with the live CD so dont know how it would work with Open office files or for you personally...
