Thanks.  I'll take a look.

One of the things I liked about Vin Shelton's script was that
it allowed me to customize what was installed by default.  I
need to add 5-6 packages to the default install.  I'd really
like to keep it to 1 CD if at all possible.  I was under the
impression that the default packages (and sources) should fit
on a single CD.
