This is about what we treat as a default, or slightly customized default, install. From the installer you can still select individual packages, or go inside a package set and select one of the packages that is not installed by default but is a member of that set. That said, the current "everything shows up in everybody's menu" way of doing things is lame. That problem should be addressed head on. -Seth
