I would have to second this method.  On my Debian Net Installs I uncheck 
everything except for base system and ssh server.  Never had a reason to 
check disk space on a fresh install, but the above two selections and 
additional packages vim, samba, and swat installed after a reboot, I 
have a machine that is using 953Mb out of a 19Gb partition.
