There's ongoing effort to reduce that (for mageia 2).
See https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609

Currently installing basesystem w/o suggests results in:

255MB of additional disk space will be used.
91MB of packages will be retrieved.
Proceed with the installation of the 201 packages? (Y/n)

(modulo a little less space if you only choose a coule locales)

Feel free to help breaking the require cycles (with and without
