a long time ago users had to have the knowledge and abilty to define what they wanted in a new install. Now we get about 3 gigabytes of shtuff with even the simplest install with a functioning x engine and too much nonsense slips in hidden from our eyes. perhaps there is a need for a more detailed install menu?

As for a detailed install menu, it exists already. You have package-level control of what is included when you install openSUSE Linux.
