I usually just install the base group as well. Openssh, zsh, screen
may follow if this is a server installation. Or if it's supposed to be
a desktop one I go with xorg, drivers and DE but I never go through
reading package list. Too lazy? Also as everything will be pulled down
as dependencies I get the feeling only necessary packages are
installed and nothing more :).
