And so is a 'custom' install by this logic. I am guessing that Red Hat 
should really just have a Henry Ford[1] install option with one choice 
of minimal for installing. Makes Red Hat's job much easier.. you can always 
customize the distro afterwords.

[1] Paraphrase of Henry Ford: You can have a model T in any color you 
want, as long as it is black.
