I've gotten a "minimum" install by removing rpm's
until I was happy,
then putting those removed rpm's in the %packages section
(wrote a batch
script to automate it). It was simply too much work for me
to modify
comps.xml and go through the genhd machinations when adding
the rpm to
%packages with a - in front of it worked the same. Doing
this, I got an
install with just under 200 rpm's, although I think that was
RHEL 3.
As for what packages are in what group, look at comps.xml

I must say I find this confusing as well or at least not
very well
documented. I would be interested in an answer too.
