I did a network install and that worked like a charm.  It only downloads
what you want installed.

One recommendation: use FTP rather than HTTP.  I think all the requests
coming in quickly to the mirror site were interpreted by their firewall
as some kind of DOS attack, so part way into the install my access to
the mirror would be blocked.  I tried several mirrors.  It worked the
first time when I used FTP access to the mirror.
