Hi,

Your minimal install is interesting.

What does the --excludedocs option to %packages do? I can't find it
documented anywhere?

My approach to a minimal package list has been to use --nobase, then
install the @core group and then install only mandatory packages from
the base group, which I determine dynamically with this (pre-install)
script (I use cobbler):

yum groupinfo base | perl -we 'my $in_mand = 0; while (<>) { $in_mand =
0 if /\s+default packages/i ; print if $in_mand ; $in_mand = 1 if
/\s+mandatory packages/i; }' > /tmp/package_base_mandatory

I then include the generated file in the %packages section.
