I finally managed to finish my work on this and have the ubuntu.7z to a
size of 380Mb. This expands to a VMWare image of 2.5Gb. 
This includes:
- Ubuntu installed in "server" mode
- Apache-2.0.54 mod_perl-2.0.1 Perl-5.8.7
- RT-3.4.5
- OracleXE
- Sendmail-8.13.4-3, configured rt(-comment) email alias
- gcc and related packages.

I might install RTFM (svn) and AT to make it a complete package,
everything else can be done by the end user.
