Sounds great. I'll check it out.
How do I ensure my subset of packages is consistent and that I
haven't left out any RPMs required by the other packages? For example,
we don't use KDE, but some other odd packages implicate KDE libs which
then require the whole of the rest of KDE; we want to ensure we've
also excluded those odd packages.
