How to install CentOS with lesser RPMs?


I have been challenged to install CentOS occupying just 200 MB.
As for now, I installed the OS with only first CD.

Just put :

@core

under %package directive in ks.cfg.
I can see the space as of now is:
Code:
# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3              13G  740M   12G  9% /
/dev/sda1              99M   12M   83M  12% /boot
tmpfs                 125M     0  125M   0% /dev/shm
I need to make it to atleast 300MB.
I can see those RPM lying in Linux Box:

Code:
df -hyum remove 389*df -hyum remove *ldap*df -hrpm -qa --qf '%11{SIZE} %{NAME}\n' | sort -k1n
          0 basesystem

I will remove java, selinux-* but what other package I can remove.

Note: I dont need any application to run but just bare OS.

Pls Suggest !!!
