The same thing was possible also with the old Progeny distribution. The problem is having a lot of CD even if you want to make a stripped down installation. And often grafical configuration program of distribution required you to install a lot of things.

This happens becouse often program in distribution are compiled with everything in, and so you get a lot of dependecies problem if you try to remove some library.

For what I see, the kickstart can help, but is not the solution.
