OOPS! Responded to unrelated posting by mistake. Here is the right post 
to reply to.


There are many packages which are not contained on the installation 
medium but are part of Fedora and can be downloaded from the default 
repositories. Midnight commander, k3b and Thunderbird are examples of 
MIA packages from the install medium. There are many other programs in 
similar status.

I believe the theme for the installer is to include one mailer, office 
package. web browser and the like. All of the better in my opinion 
programs do not make the popularity list.

If you are missing your favorite program a yum install should bring in 
the favorite program.
