You can get away with installing very little. Just a shell and whatever
you need to compile things, no need for (apache|inetd|sshd|passwd|ftp|
netscape|gnome|kde) to compile :).
Here's the trick:
1) Create a directory, say, /usr/vroot/redhat5.2
2) Create the /var/lib/rpm directory in there and do a
"touch packages.rpm" inside.
3) Install whatever packages you need in there with
rpm --root=/usr/vroot/redhat5.2 -i $PACKAGES
It's just a matter of selecting the proper ones. The install
I have is a rather complete redhat5 (I wanted to de X compiles as well)
but I think you could probably get away with the following list:
