Install Fedora without X11

[nimnull22]

Dear All

I would like to install Fedora 14 without any X11 components.
I need it only like router/firewall, so I do not want to install any unnecessary modules.
Also I do not want to download all DVD, but live media doesn't have any choices.


Is it possible to install Fedora without X11 desktop?

Thanks

Hi,
you can use the BFO project: http://boot.fedoraproject.org/index

Yes, it's quite possible. It's what I always do, even if I plan to add X later. Just choose minimal from the install options.

As I understood you right the minimal installation doesn't have X11 at all. Does it?

And does this option exist on live CD, or only on full Install DVD?

Thank you.

You are correct, minimal will not include X.

I don't believe it's on the liveCD--I think the liveCD copies a predetermined image.

However, you can just download CD1, rather than downloading the entire DVD (or set of individual CDs.) If you choose minimal, it only requires CD1.
