OS X Installation Process

[Not Available]

Well... I've never installed OS X before, and I haven't found any videos while searching.

It's just that I've got many applications which I don't need, and I want to do a Fresh Installation of Snow Leopard when I'm getting it. So I'd like to know if I can choose what applications on install when running SL installation process. For example, I don't want any third party applications, but I'd like to install iPhoto from the iLife suite, but only iPhoto. So no iWeb, iDVD, and so on. Also, I don't need Automator, games, and other applications which came with my Leopard installation. Is there a point at which I can choose which applications to install, and which don't?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can do this. You can also chose things such as printer drivers, which can shave a few gig off the install size. If you buy a new mac you'll have to re-install OSX though.
