Yes, I agree here. There should be an option of MINIMAL install without X
(and without TCL, TK, etc.)
XF 4.0.1 is pretty easy to add after all, if it is really needed.
But, before adding XF to server setup, I suggest to split 16MB package first.

I believe FreeType is OS -independent.
There are some utilities in FreeType 1.3 package, but I think they can be
splitted to separate RPM which will not require X.
And, it looks like that upcoming FreeType2 will be library-only...

I would suggest Apache-only setup option as well. You press button, and in 2
minutes have working server (yes, it took less then 2 minutes on my Pentium
III to make Expert-Minimal install; even with Xfree isnatlled by default)
Another option: file-server only. To use that server as File Cabinet ... :-)
In this case, even Apache is not necessary !
