I do the same, but my question is: how to do that the other way around?
Let's say you start from the base system, then install a couple dozen
command-line utilities from cowsay to whois, then you install the "X
Window System" group, a couple dozen fonts, then the WindowMaker window
manager, then a handful of X applications... how do you manage from
there to get back to exactly the base system you had from the start? I
know this may sound a little academic, but it's for a little private
experiment here.

Before I discovered the minimal iso I found that I could unselect everything and still get a working install with CentOS on my servers. Curiously, that didn't work with RedHat, had to at least select the "base" option and then go thru the base options to deselect bits. My experience is only up thru v6, don't know about v7 (refuse to use it for now).
