First, do a minimal installation, as nodata suggested.
Second, make a list of all the rpms that were installed. Go through
each one.
If you know you don't need it, try to remove it ("rpm -e"). Only if it
is not a requirement for something that you do need should you
actually remove it.
If you aren't sure, "rpm -qi package" to refresh your memory as to
what it does.
Iterate until you're satisfied.
