I had the same experience with Mageia 1 - the lowest I could get was
somewhere in the high 500. I spent some time tinkering with that but
whatever I tried, whichever package I wanted to remove, I always ended
up with the removal of part of the base system. In the end I gave up
(possibly due to lack of knowledge)  :(

I just checked Olivier's suggestion, ending up with some 270 packages...
