Installing minimal number of packages

[Shabazian, Chip]

You still get base.  A truly minimal install would be

%packages --no-base

But that would result in a largely unusable system, so you need to add
packages back in from that point.

NOTE: I have not tested this on FC6, but expect it to be the same.

Subject: Installing minimal number of packages

Hello,

I am doing a fc6 install for testing an automated app server install.

In the packages section, I just have

%packages
@core
sox
screen
mysql-server

I would expect a few small number of packages ( around 100 ).  However,
I am getting 550 installed.  I don't really understand why so many
packages are getting pulled in.

How can I debug this?  Is @core no longer the right directive?

Michael
