And, of course, if you prefer you can download a minimal boot iso
image and install all of Fedora (or specifically the bits you want)
over the Internet.  It weighs-in at about 8 MB (thats Mega):

I have used this method many times myself, and find it quite
satisfactory for installing a usable base system with other software
added via yum on an as-needed basis.

Once again, the Ubuntoids (and other Deb-heads) seem to think they
have a monopoly on all that is cool or useful in the Linux world...
