	Yes, it does. Like PCMCIA packages that aren't needed for a
	server or isapnptools for a machine that only has PCI slots or
	like ppp for a machine that will be only acting as a samba
	server.

	On the other hand, these packages *should* be included in the
	base install (but removed after the first boot, like it is
	done with PCMCIA packages) to support the installation of the
	system.
