@Ranger:
Actually I never wrote down the size on disk, since I was aiming for efficiency and security instead of disk footprint. Sorry about that. I feel silly for not doing that, but not silly enough to spend a half hour or more building a new virtual machine just to answer the question.

If anybody uses this guide and remembers to do so, please post it here.

So, what is the end result in size of the install? (x MB?)

In case you needed to do this more than once, it would probably be better to just create a kickstart file to do all this, with a self-removing service to do the bits after the reboot.
