I believe that one of the features of RH kickstart is that you can customise 
the install with a package list. Once you have a bloat free installation you 
can generate a package list to be used for an install. I have never tried it 
but this is what read in the documentation when I was looking at it. I was 
thinking of using this in Qld but it has slipped down the priority list at 
the moment.
