Dear Frodo,

You are barging into an open door. We all hate it, and that's why you have
the customization options after choosing a basic system type, but BEFORE
actually making the installation. I regard the basic types merely as a
means to ensure that you don't forget one of the basic packages you need,
and to save some time in the customization process.

BTW - one can make a small fortune by collecting all those cents...
