Note that RedHat gets this right, at least on the initial install.  They
prompt for groups of programs that generally would be chosen together
and hide the ugly details unless you ask to pick individual items.
It may be nice to individually pick every file on a unix distribution
but most people have better things to do.  These days you probably
can't buy a disk that is too small to hold a fairly complete
installation.
