This thread leads me to ask, is there any guidance by RedHat or others on what the absolute minimum package set is for a RHEL 5.4 server. It seems as if the @base group includes lots of extras that may be necessary in some instances but not in most (like redhat-lsb). How do you determine what packages go onto your servers and which ones are "safe" to not install even though they may be in base? Research? Trial and Error? Asking this list like Chris did? :-)

google knows -- check with:
