Well, I'd suggest starting with the package set on the upstream Server 
disk as that looks fairly complete to me. There are some common 
"Desktop" packages missing that might want to be added - evolution, 
pidgin, thunderbird, xchat, and maybe even OpenOffice if there's room, 
but most stuff is already there.
