We are going through this exercise in Fedora 11 right now and have a minimal 
install that is looking pretty good. We may add a feature page to that 
release to highlight what's been done to date. So, I don't think this helps 
you much for RHEL5, but the next RHEL should be much better in this respect. 
Our current working set requires python for yum and a couple selinux apps, 
but if you don't have these installed, python I think can be removed. Nothing 
requires perl in the current minimal package set.
