Which CDs are needed for minimal install, but enabling the network so I can use yUm to install others programs?

It is just for one machine, so I shall download the rescue iso. I don't need big programs like ooo kde and so on, just small ones, like fluxbox, mplayer and some others.

I suspect that if you install from the standard CDs you will be asked to insert them all, even if they are not used. I chose Custom Install, and installed the minimum possible (ie chose no yum groups) and then ran "yum grouplist" and "yum groupinstall ..." over the net, as you suggest, and it worked fine.
