RedHat can afford to do this because "setup" on the CL is a quick way to
adjust the services chosen. We don't have this tool however. Or is it
one of the things not installed ?
Starting lots of daemons is dangerous. Dumping everything to disk in a
preeconfigured and ready to run setup then giving the user a trivial way
to pick and choose what to actually run is the right way IMHO. Even as
part of the installation process.
I.e. If there is a way to make bind insecure then I probably did that
since I have very little understanding of this tool. If it was
installed
in the most commonly useful configuration ( caching only ) then I would
not have needed to set it up myself.
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start
is a lot simpler when you don't have to create and/or edit 1/2 dozen
files
1st.

So that's how you get the "select installation by size" trick to work
and
produce sane setups.
