Bug Description
Download the ISO and burn the CDROM.
Boot from it and select server install then with F6 select expert
Follow the steps through selecting language (oddly enough there is a minor irritation there too in that EN_US is always enabled by default), configuring network, ddisk partitioning.
If you "select and install software", the system starts processing the software to install. The next stop is the request to specifiy your monitor for X. When doing a server install, this is unexpected.
If you skip the "slect and install software" step, you can continue on without copy the packages to the hard drive and simply install grub. This means you end up with a very minimal system. This is perfect for a base server.

This is probably because language-support-en is always installed and pulls in openoffice.org. I'll fix pkgsel to be more intelligent about this early in the feisty cycle.
