The actually minimal install using the standard installer is about 510Mb,
which you get by deselecting all the optional packages at the right point,
though you need over 600Mb of diskspace to actually install this.
If one selects "Minimal Install", IMO, that should not mean deselecting
"optional" packages. Minimal means minimal, IMO. ;)
The absolute minimum presumably consists of a handful of key packages
(such as kernel, glibc, initscripts) plus any dependent packages, which
prbably comes to 2-300 Mb, though this may be too minimal to do anything
with.
Not at all. I've got web/email/DNS servers running on an install of
~150MB.
