I guess that on SL5 (with nice YUM dep resolution)

%packages --nobase
yourpackage1
yourpackage2

would quickly yield something rather small. If you rather like comps.xml
editing, suggest to use an addon YUM repository (which can have it's own
comnps.xml - i.e. start with a rather empty one!)) rather than messing
up the TUV/SL-provided one (where you would have to redo your mods after
the next minor release is out).
