One of the things I liked about Vin Shelton's script was that
it allowed me to customize what was installed by default. I
need to add 5-6 packages to the default install. I'd really
like to keep it to 1 CD if at all possible. I was under the
impression that the default packages (and sources) should fit
on a single CD.
