Possible to upgrade to 11.10 without the "extra applications". Like no-install-recommends?

I am using 11.04 which I started off with a Command Line System via Alternate CD then installed apps on top. When I upgrade to 11.10 soon, isit possible to upgrade just the OS, probably with the core files (Unity etc) but without the extra apps (Office etc, unless I have them installed already)

Or do I need to installed from scratch from a 11.10 Alternate CD again?

The official way to upgrade Ubuntu from the command-line is intended to work the way you want: it should only upgrade the packages you've already got on the system.

If it does install new packages, it is because some upgraded packages have new dependencies. This applies especially to the package ubuntu-desktop, which will depend on all the new default applications. I doubt you have ubuntu-desktop installed though, as you installed the server edition.
