Wouldn't it be easier to start with a less detailed install and just add the
gigabit package?

Alternatively, there is a utility which goes through and sets various levels
of security on the system, I'm spacing on the name but am thinking
art-something?  apropos security didn't turn it up, but I know it's out there,
someone mentioned it awhile back and I checked it out then.

Sorry can't be more specific.
