Fabian has said many times that you just run the installer and create a config (step 1 i think) then exit and edit that config so get riserfs,say no to kdm and what-not.I have only used that installer once and it was on 7-26 knoppix and when i didnt get the chioce to boot to cli (say no to kdm) I went back to the old installer.I am not sure where the new installer saves the config but it can be done

As for customizing the package selection..no you just have to install it all and nuke what you dont want afaik.Thats another advantage of debootstraping and building what u want in the first place and later I may try and take my sid+knx scripts and make an installer like the gentoo stages but you pick a kernel and a testing or sid base (woody is just to old) and it installs that with some custom pkgs u select then upgrade or as another option it will go online and debootstrap the latest base to start with...so many things to do.thats one of my plans anyway but for now im just building new modules and perfecting the live cd part.

Good luck
