okay this is insane. This is a server install. Let's have a single cd of almost nothing.
Yep.
A server install should be @Core, openssh-server, yum and that's pretty much it.
Need a bit more...

ultra-clean - as servers should be. Then when you install a service package you can enable the service and you know that your server is setup properly: Only things you need are enabled.
Sounds pretty much like I'd expect it to be too :-)
As default install, totally agree. But not as the final selection of packages on the CD(s).
I wouldn't mind a few client applications, though, especially the few which would allow debugging any kind of failure to install packages using yum. So that would possibly mean an HTTP client to check outgoing port 80 connectivity, or maybe just the "telnet" client.
Better netcat (nc(1)).
