what istall type are you actually doing in the installer? are you
doing a minimal install or server?  'server' as a default install type
is a rather generic concept.. and is not going to meet any single
person's definition completely.  To really setup a server for specific
tasks requires customization you aren't going to be able to rely on a
default install type in the installer to give you exactly what you
want. Why isn't kickstart file creation enough flexibility to create
the system the specific system that you want?  There is room in the
ecosystem for an array of pre-baked kickstart files if there are
people in the community willing to work on them..collect them.. and
maintain them.
