In the category (some call it task) selection screen, there are some options like "Desktop - Gnome", "Desktop - KDE", "Server", and "Server - GUI" ... if you just unselect all those options, you will get what is a minimal install with just Text based Internet and a minimal set of packages. If you want to get less of an install than that (not likely) ... you can use the "Customize-Now" option at the bottom of the Category / Task selection screen and then remove all checked options. The "all unchecked" install is barely functional (it has sshd and dhcp-client and a very minimal set of packages). So to get a fairly minimal install set easily ... just uncheck all options on the Category / Task selection screen.
