Choose your time zone:
Give root a password:
Now we select the software we want to install. Uncheck Office and Productivity and check Software Development and Web server instead. Then check Customize now, and click on Next:
Now we must select the package groups we want to install. Select Editors, Text-based Internet, Development Libraries, Development Tools, DNS Name Server, FTP Server, Mail Server, MySQL Database, Server Configuration Tools, Web Server, Administration Tools, Base, Hardware Support, Java, System Tools and click on Next:
The installer checks the dependencies of the selected packages:
Click on Next to start the installation:
The hard drive is being formatted:
The installation begins. This will take a few minutes:

I want to install ISPConfig at the end of this tutorial which comes with its own firewall. That's why I disable the default Fedora firewall now. Of course, you are free to leave it on and configure it to your needs (but then you shouldn't use any other firewall later on as it will most probably interfere with the Fedora firewall). SELinux is a security extension of Fedora that should provide extended security. In my opinion you don't need it to configure a secure system, and it usually causes more problems than advantages (think of it after you have done a week of trouble-shooting because some service wasn't working as expected, and then you find out that everything was ok, only SELinux was causing the problem). Therefore I disable it, too (this is a must if you want to install ISPConfig later on). Hit OK afterwards:
Then leave the Setup Agent by selecting Exit:
Then log in as root and reboot the system so that your changes can be applied: shutdown -r now Now, on to the configuration...
