Solaris Newbie - I just want a minimal install

I'm coming from BSD/Linux where I went from having to install gnome to now running *nix boxes with just the CLI. I love it but now I want to try my hand at solaris. I'm installing solaris 10 in a VM but I am kinda shocked at the install size. I would do the "core" option but I dont know if I'll miss any features. I want to make sure I have a working network system with ssh and the compilers installed (for compiling packages). I have no idea what I need to install so I went ahead and installed the "Developer Group," which happens to be 4.3 GB!

Any wiki sites I can browse for tips?

You can go for the end-user option too.

I guess it's trial and error. I recall when I first got started with Linux, I wasn't sure which packages were needed during the install. If I can get it to a point where I have a working network system, I'll read the manual and see how I can install additional packages.
