I think you will have to use a kickstart file..
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-howuse.html
See the 'services' and '%packages' sections of the file...
Example:
services --enabled=acpid,anacron,auditd,cpuspeed,crond,gpm,haldaemon,irqbalance,
kudzu,lm_sensors,messagebus,microcode_ctl,netfs,network,ntpd,portmap,readahead_e
arly,sendmail,smartd,sshd,syslog,sysstat,xinetd --disabled=cups,apmd,atd,autofs,
avahi-daemon,bluetooth,firstboot,hidd,ip6tables,isdn,mcstrans,pcscd,restorecond,
xfs,yum-updatesd
And:
%packages
@base
yum-fastestmirror
yum-priorities
yum-utils
...
If you remove @base, you will have to list all the mandatory packages...
