there maybe were errors, but newbie installs were server free.

we don't think this as user-friendly. Either a server is useful and should be
enabled, or it is not and should not be installed (and the server must be kind
of hard to install).

classes packages. packages with rate 4/5 may be chosen in beginner installs.
3/4/5 may be chosen in expert installs. So 1/2 rated packages will not be chosen
unless the user choose them in the tree of packages.
for example, wu-ftpd is not there anymore (proftpd is the ftp server chosen for
now). there must still be a lot of errors, so any modifications are welcome :)
