In that case you might want to consider not installing X-windows (if you
are comfortable with the command line) and not bothering with the Japanese
extensions (unless your scripts specifically require them; or you need
Japanese filenames).

Just to make installation easier (also fewer things that could have a bug
that compromises security).

... or maybe it won't (e.g. tcl/tk might require X to be installed, and
python might require tcl/tk).
