I'm a kickstart file person myself. Manual is maybe good for a onesie
but gets old and unreliable for N > 2 systems. Also, I like kickstarts
because it's both a record of what you did. And it can be customized
per machine.
I guess that on SL5 (with nice YUM dep resolution)
%packages --nobase
yourpackage1
yourpackage2
would quickly yield something rather small. If you rather like comps.xml
editing, suggest to use an addon YUM repository (which can have it's own
comnps.xml - i.e. start with a rather empty one!)) rather than messing
up the TUV/SL-provided one (where you would have to redo your mods after
the next minor release is out).

I suppose another cheap way of doing it might be making a meta-rpm that
contains the packages you want listed as dependencies and let the
dependencies get resolved by the installer/yum. No comps.xml hacking
needed. Would make for a pretty empty kickstart too!
