Thanks for your replies. 

dan informed me that (I hope I got it right): 

If you install Fedora 11 with all groups disabled, then you get a minimal install with network cards, iptables, bash, yum and sshd included; the network service, also included, can be used in place of NetworkManager, and it uses the same configuration files. 

A list of "minimal" rpms for a server: 
"See http://fpaste.org/paste/20124 but it was updated to Rawhide and has more server applications installed."

About appliance, I'm not sure what that means, so I post these solutions.
