<PRE>i did a network install

and choose 'custom', then deselected everything, pressed next

i got to the next menu of installation and left these to default:

 - no X
 - no suggestions
 - basic doc still on
 - truly minimal was off

but, i ended up with x libraries, fonts, etc...

so i dug a bit deeper as to why and looked at the ddebug.log file:

afaict dracut seems to require plymouth, and mageia-gfxboot-theme seems to be 
there no matter what option i choose from the summary, it seems it was already 
installed before the summary.


thing is, without a full kickstart (which i don't want to, i'd like to keep 
doing partitioning manually, but kickstart seems not to do the interactive 
requests), i can't really make a minimal system to begin with...

for this release, if at all possible, i'd still like to get a bit smaller for 
minimal setups, and like to present a nongraphic grub by default when X is 
unselected, and also have no need for gfxboot or plymouth when i don't have a 
graphic grub (even though this isn't the same)

furthermore, if i'm installing without X the default runlevel target seems to 
still be the graphic one, and not the multi-user one...

perhaps it's possible to have this as alternatives or something? which could 
be set by the CAT_X thingie? one installing one package and the other 
installing the other package?
