Or, I can also just check the services UI :-P

This is the stuff that I was talking about. I think it would be a good
idea to define which services are autostarted (during the installation
phase) based on what hardware is available. For example, in your case,
if you do not have a bluetooth chipset, then the bluetooth service
should not start.

Ditto with the others. Wonder if something like is possible?

Things like sendmail and others may be left as is for the moment. Not
sure if we wish to complicate the install screens by asking for
configuration options for the same.
