[Novalug] [Ma-linux] Fedora 13 Install

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

In addition to the excellent responses give, I offer my own addition.

yum list '*ffice*' will list all packages with 'office' in their name. 
We don't know whether 'office' is capitalized or not (it's not), so we 
leave off the 'o', at least initially.

If you want a peek into the inner working of the installation procedure, 
then unpack the ISO sometime and look in the repo directory. You will 
see a file called comps.xml. Essentially, it's the XML representation of 
the Software Selection Menu of the install procedure.

You might also want to delete all the lines that match "xml:lang", they 
only clutter up the file if all you habla  is Inglés.
