Hi - Unfortunately the installer does not currently offer you the ability
to select individual packages. Your best bet is to pick something close to
what you want and then either add or remove packages as necessary. For
example, you could install the Base package, mount the CD-ROM, change to
the YellowDog/RPMS directory, and add packages as appropriate using
rpm -ivh <package_file>
Or you could use the Internet Server option, determine what all is
installed using
rpm -qa
and then remove anything you don't want using
rpm -e <package_name>
