+ <p>You can choose a Minimal Installation by de-selecting everything in

+ 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.
