About 15 of us already did: please see the archives of the "fedora-minimal"
list on my server at
simpaticus.com.

You can also see a brief description of the results in the initial sections
of my alpha-stage "Small Netserver HOWTO" document [1], which I can never
seem to get quite finished. The short version of the story is that we
managed to knock down FC1 to about 385MB of disk space without losing *any*
real functionality. Text mode only, of course. If we had access to some
choices like leaving the documentation out of many packages, we could
probably get close to 300MB.
There's rpm --excludepath -Fvh bla.rpm
It may help.
