More possibilities for removal:
Any of those text editors.  Have the user choose their default editor 
during install (I think this is already something that is chosen in fact), 
and install only that one (include, of course, numerous editors on the 
disc).  I'd like to go through the list and pick out all the editors, but I 
don't have access to Linux at the moment and I'm afraid of making an ass 
out of myself by mistakenly labeling a package as an editor when it's not.

Also, lynx seems a bit unnecessary.

I think those are the only ones I noticed that haven't been mentioned yet.
