Maybe Mark can post his list anyway?
I just went through a SLES9 install on my Hercules box and played with package
selections. Following is a list of all the packages you _could_ choose not to
install. There are some I certainly don't recommend leaving out, but for the
sake of completeness, I'm listing them. There were a few others that could
have been left out, but that would have resulted in what I consider to be
really, really, essential stuff being left out also. There are also some
commands that I think should really be added, but that's more personal
preference than anything.
Note that with a number of these, if you mark them as "Taboo" you'll be prompted to
resolve a conflict, and you'll have to check the box that says "don't install the packages
that require this one."

I've already commented on some others. If you're nat installing man
(really!), then you don't need man-pages, and you don't need packages'
man pages. rpm has an option to exclude documentation, but I've not
noticed any official installer supports that. The enthusiast can
probably manage it though.
