Thanks - at least I'm not going crazy - yet, anyway....   My concept
of 'minimal' would be just what it takes to let someone ssh in and run
yum to install everything else, with the exception of having
openssh-clients and rsync in case you want to copy stuff over first.
But having more than that doesn't bother me as long as it fits on a
cd.
