Selecting individual packages might bring that down to about
80MB.  You may as well let it run through the installation at
that size, then go back and take out what you don't want.  Some
things are _always_ installed initially, like it or not, but
can be removed later.

Do an rpm -q -a to see which rpm's you've got, and then do
rpm -q -i <package> to get info on each one, and decide
whether it's something you're going to need.  rpm -e the ones
you're sure you can do without.

If you're hellbent on minimalism, you might wipe out large
amounts of docs and stuff like that as well.
