From memory: /etc/setup/installed.db is the name of the file that
records what's installed.

mv that file out of the way while you do your setup selection process.

Alternatively you can click on "Full/Part" and choose full. With recent
setup verions there's an option "Re-Download" that should do what you
want.

If the current CVS setup doesn't do what you are looking for, feel free
to jump in a tweak it.
