Can I do a command-line install with the 12.10 media?

From what I read on the mailing list, and on here, it looks like there won't be any alternative install CDs for Quantal Quetzal. I used to love those, as they enabled me to quickly whip out a command-line only install.

With a base install, I could load xorg, my desired Window Manager (usually openbox or razor-qt), and keep my Ubuntu installation tiny and cruft free.

Is that no more?

While the Alternate CD has been dropped, you can still do it using the Minimal ISO.
Everything is downloaded fresh from the repositories, so not need to update post-install.

PS: In case you were wondering, here is what the installer looks like.
