Again, don't do that.  Custom means you know what you're doing.

If you chose custom, nothing goes in your face because the assumption
is that you know what you're doing and will select such options
*explicitly* through the post-configuration menus (where they do
indeed exist if you look).

Custom is for people who don't want anything in their face, they know
exactly what they're doing and exactly what sysinstall is capable of
at any given time.  If people are getting that confused by this then
I'll happily remove custom from the set of options and make all of you
go through the Standard installation whether you like it or not. :-)
