The FC1 installation already has an option for a 'minimal install' that 
works quite well. You can even use a network-install to install that 
minimal set, then add whatever else you want with yum/apt/up2date/whatever.

I presume that FC2 in it's actual non-test release form (when it occurs) 
will also include this ability.

If you want to get something like this added in to the test releases 
earlier, that would indeed be an appropriate discussion for the 
fedora-test-list, where the test-release users hang out.

Most of us have our hands full with making sure the 'stable' Fedora 
release (currently FC1) works properly for everyone.
