If you want to keep using RPM, placing these macros in /etc/rpm/macros
before installing the packages (using yum --installroot or whatever)
will help reduce some of the package bloat:
%_excludedocs 1
%_install_langs %{nil}
A custom kernel RPM that eliminates the /lib/modules/$KVER/build/* subtree
and unnecessary modules will also save tens of megabytes:
% rpm -qp --qf "%{SIZE} %{NAME}\n" kernel-2.6.10 kernel-lite-2.6.10
35919932 kernel
11309049 kernel-lite
That's by no means minimal.
