Agreed, the "Base Install" is still pretty bloated, http installs assume
your network driver is on the install CD, and the other methods assume
you have a pre-existing infrastructure. 

Since we used to install from floppies, I bet we can get back to a lean
"Base" that allows a high level of user customization based on what they
plan on doing with the computer.
