May I remind you of what we write in the HOWTO on this subject? Our
words are not gratuitous. They're there for a reason. Here's a quote a
pro pos this very subject:

"     * You'll be asked what kind of installation you want to perform.
This screen offers the following selections: Personal Desktop,
Workstation, Server,
       Laptop, Custom, Update. We very strongly advice that you choose
       "Server." Unfortunately, the "Personal Desktop," "Workstation"
       and "Laptop"
              installation classes skew their package and configuration
	      selections to GUI users, and this is highly
	      disadvantageous to the speech and braille
	             user who will find that some important, text-based
		     programs, like the Lynx world wide web browser, for
		     example, are not installed.
"		          * You will be asked what packages you wish to
			  * install. There's a very long list of
			  * available packages, and you could certainly
			  * add anything you
			         don't install now later, but this would
				 be a nuisance at best and tends to be
				 confusing to the BEGINNER. We recommend
				 you press the "end" key to
				        go to the last option which is
					"everything" if you have
					sufficient disk space. An
					"EVERYTHING" INSTALLATION
					REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY 8 gB, but
					it
					       will really provide
					       everything the blind user
					       needs. And, of particular
					       interest to blind users
					       today, it will install
					       GNOME and the Gnopernicus
					              screen reader for
						      you to use as
						      well. On the other
						      hand, if you're
						      short on space,
						      you'll find that
						      choosing the
						      "Server" class
						      installation in
						             the
							     preceding
							     step will
							     give you
							     almost all
							     of the
							     text-based
							     applications
							     you need."
