First, the name may give an indication (console, x11, ...), then just
check which tasks they actually depend on to get an idea which
packgages a certain image may drag in.

I don't know, this is board specific. I never used a diskless client

angstrom 2008.1 contains a lot of bleeding edge stuff. I wouldn't use
it. Perhaps someone could extract the most things from angstrom 2007
configuration (which now is in a branch) and bring the generic distro
back to live.

Try building an older glibc. You can do this by setting
PREFERRED_VERSION.
