I think what you mean is that you want X clients (things like xterm,
ghostview, etc.) and not the X server (this is what actually draws on the
screen). Unfortunately, the X clients and libs (which you need to make
the clients run) are what take up most of the disk space. I would
recommend installing XFree86-libs and XFree86, and then going through what
XFree86 installs and delete the stuff you don't need (programs that you
won't use, man pages, fonts, etc. use rpm -ql to see what's there).
There are also quite a few programs that come in their own rpms, and you
can decide on these on an individual basis.
If you want the RedHat GUI config tools to work, you probably also need
Perl, Tcl and Tk.
