But a single CD install takes digging through menus and de-selecting a bunch of stuff. It wouldn't be so bad, but I remember a "select all" button but not a "de-select all" one. Maybe a server cd could be made that by default does what takes digging through menus to do now. Or a commandline option to the regular 1st cd like linux serveronly that does the proper thing.
