Both miniconda and slinky can do this. In both cases, go get the
original comps file from the CD, delete all but the base packages,
delete those base packages you do not want, and add all the additional
packages you want to install, sorted into appropriate labels (KDE and
others). If you use Slinky, you don't need to upgrade packages, just do
a custom CD with only the wanted packages on it (just the packages,
nothing else because slinky does booting and installing, not anaconda).
Be careful with the package list, take the lineup from a install
(/root/install.log, on 7.1 probably /tmp/install.log) - slinky does no
dependency checking and ordering prior to install!

Hope this helps. I'm a bit terse, it's 01 AM and I need sleep...
