This is great, thank you!

I've generally found that using this check box with CentOS 4 can cut
the install by a couple of hundred megabytes, down to ~700MB.  WIth
CentOS 5, I specified customize now and unselected everything I could,
the install was about 1 Gig, about the same as CentOS 4 without the
'minimal' install check box and everything unchecked.

I do believe this check box was of value and would be with CentOS 5.
