I simply remove everything I don't need in %packages, and I can get a
VERY small install.  This is with RHEL 3:

Well, my current count is 194. I'd love to see it down further, but I
really can't see where I can cut packages any more :( I'm not building a
CD - my installs are all over PXE/HTTP, so I probably have some more
leeway than you do. My install size is now:

/dev/cciss/c0d0p2     2.0G  114M  1.8G   6% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1      62M   14M   45M  24% /boot
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3     2.0G  441M  1.5G  24% /usr

My biggest problem at the moment is sendmail - which pulls in a lot of
dependencies, like m4/make etc. I'd like to have the ability for cron
jobs and the like to be able to send emails, but having a full-fledged
sendmail installation sounds like an overkill. Ideally, I just need a
program with a /usr/sbin/sendmail binary (for mutt, which is my
preferred command-line mail client for use in cron jobs and scripts)
that implements an SMTP client. I am looking at some small programs at
the moment.

My second problem is gpm - not needed on headless servers, but
vim-enhanced pulls it in (I like to see syntax highlighting in my
httpd.conf and the like :)
