Package selection.
...
Note that the Core and Base groups are always selected by default, so it is not
necessary to specify them in the %packages  section.
...
The following options are available for the %packages  option:
--nobase
  Do not install the @Base group. Use this option if you are trying to create a
very small system.

So, it should be (to be perfect):
%packages --nobase
