I typically install with "[] Everything" package selection. One of the first things I do after the initial boot is to uninstall all the foreign (for me, non-English) documentation. There is a *lot* of disk space consumed by aspell, man-pages, and kde-i18n to support a multitude of languages. Uninstalling these is a good way to regain disk space without losing any functionality. Also, delete everything below the /tmp and /var/tmp directories.
