Bugzilla – Bug 381947
No description for desktop options "minimal X11" and "text"
Last modified: 2008-04-23 07:38:56 UTC
In the desktop selection during installation, the options "Minimal X Window" and "Text Mode" don't have any description. Suggestion: Minimal X Window: This is a very basic graphical desktop. This option can be useful for low-end machines. Minimal Server Selection (Text Mode): No graphical desktop - text mode only. This option can be useful to minimize a pure server machine's vulnerability.

Text Mode: "No graphical desktop - text mode only. This option can be useful to minimize a pure server machine's vulnerability." It's a pattern description but such text cannot be used in a generic pattern selector. User can select more patterns than only this one - in that case, the description would be misleading.
