There is no such description in all of fedora's documentation.
Also, your description of "unwanted" is too vague and may well
be ill defined.
For examle "ls", which is part of the core tools, is not necessary
for the kernel to boot and run - but without it, you are pretty
much crippled. Ditto with ps.
So you need to dig deeper into understanding what you mean
by the most basic set of packages.
