Not as such; there is the core package group, which is (for Fedora 15): acl attr audit authconfig basesystem bash biosdevname coreutils cpio cronie cronie-anacron dhclient e2fsprogs fedora-release file filesystem glibc initscripts iproute iprutils iptables iptables-ipv6 iputils kbd libgcc ncurses openssh-server passwd policycoreutils procps readline rootfiles rpm rsyslog selinux-policy-targeted sendmail setserial setup shadow-utils systemd sudo util-linux vim-minimal yum Plus, on relevant architectures: efibootmgr grub ppc64-utils s390utils silo yaboot However, there are caveats: 1) This list is solved for dependencies. So, the actual package list ends up being larger. 2) The administrator/user is free to customize the package set afterwards, so not all of these packages may remain installed.
