I think we don't agree here. It reminds me of my very first Linux 
installation. It was a slow 386 machine and I was asked for every single 
package if I wanted it installed. I had a good knowledge of my hardware, 
but for many packages I didn't know if I needed it or not. Therefore I 
probably installed much more than necessary - it took nearly an entire 
day until the installation was finished because of those many questions. 
I think it is much better to install a lot more than necessary without 
any questions, especially if the distribution wants to be usefull for 
people who don't already know anything about Linux.
