So what does 'standard system utilities' actually mean? What does it install? I always install from netinstall, and prefer text-mode environments. I usually install X and a window manager later so I don't have to deal with a login manager. In the past, I was always unsure of what 'standard system utilities' actually meant, but took it as a euphemism for a basic text-mode environment. Is this the case?
