FWIW I just tested with installing F14 on 512M guest,
and it used to TUI installer, installed 198 packages
and used 620M of diskspace.  Of course that is probably
about as minimal as one can get and includes no working
networking...

Then I installed a F14 Webserver, and @fonts and @input-methods
but just the core ibus packages (ibus, ibus-gtk2, and ibus-gtk3),
since gtk2 (and gtk3) got installed on the gnome-desktop.
Installed size of 1040 packages was 2.4G.  (Not sure why
a webserver implies a gnome desktop though.)

Finally, tried Desktop install disabling @fonts and @input-methods
(and few others like @games and @printing): 2.8G and 1106 packages.

(I don't really recommend disabling @fonts, but if you can
live with just dejavu-fonts then maybe it works for you.)

If Hans still wants to do a more generic solution in
Anaconda that would be great, as he mentioned in comment 26.
I also tend to agree that installing all locales is not optimal,
specially for Minimal.  There is also the problem of Live parity though.
