Use a kickstart-file that has a "nobase" statement..
And have a look at CLIP (http://oss.tresys.com/projects/clip/wiki/WikiStart) for a truly minimal kickstart (and a lot of other security related stuff, if you're interested)..
Cheers,
Bart

My question is, which way i will achieve really minimum install (with yum). So far, i have during install unchecked all packages , then customized groups and removed everything including base system. As a result my CentOS install was 800MB , which is still to much for us. Value around 300 - 400 MB is OK.
do a bunch of 'yum erase' runs postinstall to remove whatever you dont need ?
