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..
