I don't know how low you can go, but I have managed a minimal install
a lot less then the default povided by anaconda package selection, by
creating a kickstart file that explicitely removes packages from
installation ..
One day I will set some time aside and arrive at the bare-minimimum
kickstart file..
Cheers,
