                   less eye candy and fewer packages installed by default.

                   however more information about the content of each is available in
                   tool-tips which become visible as the mouse is hovered over them.

            <p>You can choose a Minimal Installation by de-selecting everything in
                   the Package Group Selection screen. Minimal Installation is intended for
                   those with specific uses in mind for their Mageia, such as a server or a
                   specialised workstation. You will probably use this option combined with
                   Manual Package Selection. If you choose this installation class, then the
                   next screen will offer you a few useful extras to install, such as
                   documentation and X.

                   file to install the same packages on another system, by pressing the same
                   button during install and choosing to load it.
