My normal install routine for CentOS has been to download ISOs, put them 
on my local net and install from there. But the only ISOs I found for 
Fedora were the server and live desktop. The live desktop format didn't 
appear suitable for a PXE install. Only the server. So that's why I went 
with the server. After install I would normally point yum back at the 
mounted ISO image for any additionally needed packages. The problem here 
is that the server ISO is really stripped down.

My solution was to set Yum back to it's default 
download.fedoraproject.org source. Everything is there. X installed fine 
once I used that as a source. At the cost of some bandwidth for some 
downloading.
