Thanks Mark for your reply.
I was hoping to create a base system that will be used to clone other
systems, something like Mike MacIsaac's "/sles9master".
The SLES10 minimal install, leaves about 22M free on a mod-3. Thats too
close for comfort. That's why I am looking to cut out all unnecessary
stuff. Off course the other option is to use a mod-9.

Hi,
>From a security point of view, and a general systems best practices
standpoint as well, you only want to install the specific things you need,
and nothing more. If you unselect something that is a dependency, the
installer typically will add it back as needed.
The first question is: what role do you want your server to take? Is it
just a Web server? A print server? A "Windows" file server?
For any of those, or FTP, e-mail, etc. you only need Server Base from the
list you presented. GNOME and X Windows should never be installed on
servers, period. Intel, VM or otherwise.

Bernard, it depends on what you need. Of course you
need Server Base and probably 32bit Runtime
Environment.
I see no reason to install GNOME and X Window on
server. If your server acts as print server then Print
server option is obvious. I leave APPArmour to others
to comment.
Even if you install only Server base and 32bit, there
are many packages you can remove safely later.
Unfortunately a lot of useless packages have to stay
because of complicated dependencies.
