Yes, I found that mingetty is needed as my terminals were gone :-(
I am not sure about the packages all together, I am just suggesting. It seems
to me that there are very many redundant ones, justified only by the fact that
someone felt like using something different. ( Take mingetty, I think mgetty
could have been used just as well probably )
My idea would be to create some kind of minimalistic pattern for a first
install, with the option of selecting more if necessary. So you just get up and
running and then download everything you want or deem necessary from the online
repositories.
Fedora 7 test3 does a pretty good job here, although it has quite some
disadvantages (for my tastes) over openSuSE 10.3
