Coulda fooled me.

I selected "Install Everything" from SuSE 7.0 then removed the packages I didn't
want from the staggering selection offered.

I ended up with an install of just over 2 gig which included everything I wanted,
and nothing I didn't.

A case of not reading the screen properly, I suspect.
