Debian Base Install to many un-necessary packages?

Hello,

I've just downloaded the latest netinst iso of debian.

I usually do not select any packages to install when prompted, and
although the installer still insists on installing a large number of
unneeded files (dictionarys, nano etc) I usually press contol-C to
cancel that and then manually add vim and ssh... which is really all I
ever want, at least initally.

However, on the latest version, the control-C did not actually stop the
installation!

Any ideas on how to stop this?

Thanks

Dave
