This is one of those things I wanted to have working all nice and tidy for 2.0.5 but didn't quite make it.. There is too much stuff in sysinstall (which lives in /stand) that expects you to do everything in one pass, though I suppose you could try it by visiting the partition and label screens but not actually doing anything, then going on to select the dists you wanted and saying "proceed". I'm definitely working now on making sysinstall far more "granular" so that you can use it to do things like this after installation. In fact, many of those changes are in the latest 2.1 snapshot.
