Mandrake: I installed it few times about 6 months to 1 year ago and I
remember playing with package selector for quite some time. DURING
installation. It also let me choose which services to run (to start at
boot).
Debian: runs dselect during install so you can choose whatever you
want (individual packages)
I am not 100% sure about RH and know nothing about suse...
