I typically install with "[] Everything" package selection. One of the
first things I do after the initial boot is to uninstall all the foreign
(for me, non-English) documentation. There is a *lot* of disk space
consumed by aspell, man-pages, and kde-i18n to support a multitude of
languages. Uninstalling these is a good way to regain disk space without
losing any functionality.
Also, delete everything below the /tmp and /var/tmp directories.
