Yeah, so you boot the installer by typing 'custom' at the prompt, which
gives you components in our Base seed only. This includes all sorts of
useful admin and diagnostic tools - the kind of stuff you'd want on any
server or desktop.

Then you install the server software you need. In your case, you've already
got Postfix (hooray!), but you'd want to install libapache2-mod-php4. That
brings in the appropriate Apache bits too.
