Detailed Description
The goal of the feature is to provide anaconda option to perform this kind of tiny installation. It would be also very nice to have a kickstart available somewhere(appliance-tools), so it can be used in automated installation.
Benefit to Fedora
* Security - lower the attack surface by installing only necessary packages * Performance - faster installation and less running services * Storage - installation is less than 500MB * Package dependencies - package dependencies are regularly watched
