Since I got a little familiar with Linux and what packages I was using on
previous installs, I use the fully custom install.  As in, choose Custom
Install and then click the little box for "Select Individual Packages".
This allows you to look at each individual RPM that is available to be
installed.  Choose whatever you need and read the description of every
package to grab the other ones that you may need.  An everything install
is a space hog, but you've got 20G so it's probably not a problem.

I tried to send a message directly to you (by accident, reply to all or
something) and got some errors last night.  Perhaps you were working on
your system...

BTW, I don't know how many others read the wolverine-list also, but I keep
getting double the mail from you with your fun-loving cross-posts.  I
haven't figured out the mail filters completely, so both messages end up
in my Guinness-list folder.
