You should unpack the "base" distribution on the server, then do some
selective removal of things you do not plan to use.  You should keep
	/etc /sbin /bin (need most of the stuff in the root)
	/usr/lib	(need shared libraries, etc.)
You get the idea.  You might temporarily move most of /usr to some
invisible (to the client) holding place, and hard-link those files
that are found to be needed back into the /usr hierarchy that is
exported to the client.  Your results might interest people here.
