  <!--2012-12-26 marja - exported this section from choosePackages.xml to
 start a new page-->

  <!--2013-05-05 marja - added screenshot and s/next/related/ -->

  <!--2018/02/12 apb: Text and typography.-->

  <!--2018/02/22 apb: Moved 'Minimal Instalation ...' para to top and rework the following paras.-->

  <!--2018/02/22 apb: Added xreflabel to this section.-->

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

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

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

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

      <para>If the <emphasis>With X</emphasis> option is selected, then IceWM
      (a lightweight desktop environment) will also be included.</para>
    </listitem>
  </itemizedlist>

  <para>The basic documentation is provided in the form of <quote>man</quote>
  and <quote>info</quote> 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>
