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)).
