I just tried this myself on a VM, all you need to do is uncheck those 
package groups. As I mentioned earlier, if you need custom partitioning 
then the text install is a no go. Simply put the graphical installer is 
much more capable compared to the text based counterpart. I would stick 
to that as much as I could.
