If the goal is to speed up startup I think that should be secondary to 
improving performance/reducing requirements while running.

We could turn off kudzu and sendmail in the postinstall with
service kudzu off
service sendmail off

I think at this time we should worry less about which packages to install
and more about a general flexible solution.  I hope we can minimize changes
to allow installs with lower memory requirements.
After meeting that goal we can build custom lists of pretested RPMs for
various requirements.
