   I don't think this is a bug as I've done it numerous times.  However, 
there is a possibility that you're selecting a particular application 
which depends on X, and the installer, upon checking dependencies, will 
then install it for you, despite you not picking it.

    Personally I think it would be nice if the installer had a 'noX' 
option for those of us who don't need X on their machines.
