Ok. I've been, for many releases, chosing the server netboot and gotten
minimal install from its software selection.  This is the first time it's
given me different repos.  As mentioned, I can use the workstation boot,
I just prefer downloading some kind of net install.  I'll probably just go
to using the workstation from now on.   Heh, sounds like I'm pouting,
saying that in a sulky voice.

It seems to save a few hundred MB off the workstation boot, probably closer
to the size for the old server boot. Fortunately, I don't (yet) have a
bandwidth cap so it's more a matter of what I've been used to using being
changed. :)

Thanks to both Chris and Adam for clarifications.
