Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to offer a side trip with
this thread. What do people need/want in RHEL6?
I'd love it if RH could work out some of the little things that people
have complained about - like why does a default install insist on
installing things that are completely unnecessary. I have a kickstart
file where I've had to explicitly exclude about 50 or 60 things that
would otherwise be installed. Dependency hell maybe but many of these
just seem to appear from nowhere...
How many servers have bluetooth? But it gets installed anyway. Ditto
PCMCIA cards? And ISDN connections?
Here's my exclude list...

Yes! Your list looks a *lot* like the one I use!
I want "minimal" to be just that!
... no Bluetooth, wireless, or IR adapter support
... no ISDN, PPP, or dial-up!
... no dictionaries! (why, for Heaven's sake?)
... no printing! (yeah, yeah, it's all LSB's fault)
... no X11
... if it's an x86 install, let's ditch the extreme
hardware support like IPMI and NUMA stuff

Thanks.
(I needed that! ;-) )
