Like a program that just prompts for the role of the computer when you install it: What kind of workstation are you setting up? [ ] "normal" workstation [ ] Word processor (lyx/latex/emacs ... ) [ ] X-terminal [ ] ... Then behind each of these choices is a number og selected packages which is installed.
