Why would you EVER need to do a full instal of any *nix, or any other 
platform for that matter? Spend some time looking over what's offered, pick 
what you think you can use, and then you can usually cut that by another 10% 
or better. If you ever do find there's something you forgot or didn't take 
into account, you can always add it latter. Then you don't end up searching 
all over for things or wasting HDD space.
