Option to install base system only

[Mohamed Magdy]

Please make it possible to install just the base system: Ubuntu without Gnome or KDE or Xfce etc. i.e. the same system that gets installed when we choose 'cli' (in minimal cd).

Will that be too hard to add? you can hide it by default and mention it in the FAQ (commandline switch ?)

Thanks for your *great* work.

You can modify the preseed file *before* rebooting (usually in c:\ubuntu\install\custom-installation\preseed.cfg) and change the desktop package in there. I will not be able to add new features in this release, in the future I will add a command line argument for that.

Thanks Agostino. so it won't need to download the whole ISO when you add the feature?

Hello,
any news on this? Is this feature already present? Tried with the mini iso in the wubi folder during install without success.. :/
