  <para>You can choose a Minimal Installation by de-selecting everything in
  the Package Group Selection screen, see <xref linkend="choosePackageGroups"/>.</para>

  <para>If desired, you can additionally tick the <emphasis role="bold">Individual package selection</emphasis> option in the same
  screen.</para>

  <para>Minimal Installation is intended for those with specific uses in mind
  for <application>Mageia</application>, such as a server or a specialised
  workstation. You will probably use this option combined with the <emphasis role="bold">Individual package selection</emphasis> option mentioned above,
  to fine-tune your installation, see <xref linkend="choosePackagesTree"/>.</para>

  <para>If you choose this installation method, then the relevant screen will
  offer you a few useful extras to install, such as documentation and
  X.</para>

  <para>If <emphasis role="bold">With X</emphasis> is chosen, then IceWM (a
  lightweight desktop environment) will also be included.</para>

  <para>The basic documentation is provided in the form of man and info pages.
  It contains the man pages from the <link xlink:href="http://www.tldp.org/manpages/man.html">Linux Documentation
  Project</link> and the <link xlink:href="http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/">GNU
  coreutils</link> info pages.</para>
