When you get to the package selection stage of the install scroll down to the bottom and select 'Minimal Install'. Yum will only ever install the dependencies that are needed. So if you want to keep the server minimalist don't install KDE or GNOME packages as they'll drag in X windows and the KDE or GNOME libraries with them. -- Tim Edwards
