If you have the DVD ISO mount it and look in the Server directory.

You can view the list in RHN. Login and select "Channels", the default is for 5.2 so 
select the one of the architectures. The page which should appear has a line "Packages: 
xxxx", select the "xxxx" which is a number and links to a complete list of all the packages.

If you have the DVD iso you can mount that and look in 
/Server/repodata/comps-rhel5-server-core.xml.

Find the section marked:
<group>
<id>base</id>
<name>Base</name>

this is the Base installation, i.e. the minimum required.

A sub-section of that is <packagelist> which lists all the packages which are a part of 
Base. The XML doesn't help make it easily readable...
