Seems to me that the installer is a just fine place to select what's to
be installed.

And if anaconda doesn't get the X configuration right (and it doesn't
every time), the X-enabled FirstBoot situation never exists. The
X-enabled anaconda situation does, though.

When I installed Fedora yesterday, anaconda gave me enough control to
tell it not to install sendmail.cf and to install postfix. When I booted
after the install, postfix was not started, and sendmail was the MTA.
This does not happen when I can select individual packages. Easily
fixed, but additional and unnecessary things to check for and do.
