I was unable to perform a text based install, as I reported in a bug about a
week ago. I ended up using the graphical install.
Up until this point, I have always used the text-based install (although, I
think the last time I did that was Mdk 6.1, 7.0 I think I only installed
once, and I used the GUI), and the option of selecting individual packages
was right there in plain sight. It may be that you needed to do a
Custom/Expert install (as I always do), but the option is (was) there.

But it doesn't allow all the things, which are available in GUI. I still
didn't find a way to select packages in the text mode.
