The easy method is called 'tasksel'. You can run it even after
installing (as root). You are probably going to 'tasksel', but not
picking any packages. That is the only reason why it might behave in
the way you desribe. Take the time to learn how to select and
deselect packages.

Ask on debian-user list, this is not an install question.
