Fedora minimal install option

[Rui Miguel Seabra]

I haven't looked into Fedora Core's Minimum Install yet, but RedHat's
Minimum Install is _all_but_minimal_.

A Minimum Install should look _almost_ like an OpenBSD default boot:

  No services active (BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT EVEN INSTALLED)
  NO X.
  Just the necessary to boot and make post install installations.

This is what a Minimum should be. Anything more and it doesn't deserve
the term Minimal

Hugs, Rui

ps: then you could have things like Minimum( + GROUP)* where you'd add
whatever kind of service groups you'd like your machine to do.
