How would you shrink Fedora?

How would you shrink Fedora?

Parent article: How would you shrink Fedora?

Easy: just have the bare minimum needed for a network connection and apt-get or yum, and let the user install what they want. It could even be installed from 3.5" diskettes that way.

I'm posting this from a machine running Ubuntu Warty, which was installed by "apt-get dist-upgrade" (over a PPP connection) from Debian Potato, which was installed from diskettes (the diskette images for these were also downloaded over a PPP connection).
