Setup a local mirror and a setup.ini. Include in the setup.ini simply the package names you want to include, and the category 'base' or 'misc'. You cannot safely remove pacakges from the default - we keep that as lean as we can. Thus, setup is *not designed* to enable you doing that. I will *consider* patches to do that though.
