With xen it could make more sense again to minimize installations and then
have smaller images where only few services run. E.g. an image just
for mysql, one with bind, ...
While kickstart is normally very good for these things, question still
comes up if it would be important enough to again put some more selections
into the GUI-installer parts for this.
