The minimal install is a great tool for doing simple builds for base machines. The regular DVD puts in a lot of cruft and a Kickstart build assumes you have a kickstart infrastructure. It really seems a matter of "do it right or don't do it at all." If you have a minimal install ISO, please have it meet the same expectations the other images meet. In many cases the minimal install is much more useful than a net or prompt based install.
