By the way, if you put just this in kickstart you get exactly that:

%packages --nobase --resolvedeps
openssh-server
yum-rhn-plugin

Now, that pulls in about 800M of other packages because of the deps.
Perhaps you really want some statically compiled minimal version of
some of these (though you'd be hard pressed to do without python).

If it's a VM you might be able to do without openssh-server and use
only the functionality in RHN. I doubt it would really save you much,
though.
