By the way David have you ever done a Red Hat kickstart with the nobase option. You get an OS install thats as stripped down as possible. you can even create a node for ovirt which is smaller than the ESXi install base last I checked. just be aware you will not have many of the tools you would normally expect to see for example bind-utils isn't installed so the box wont have nslookup or dig unless you install it.
