That directory contains translations, especially those needed by gettext-using applications. It is likely safe to delete any directory in there for locales that you do not use (for example, the "ja" directory if you have no need of Japanese gettext translations). Assuming you are careful in selecting which of these to keep and which to remove, this will *probably* not harm the running of your system. However, any package which installed such translations will no longer be able to be updated via Presto (if you use this feature), since they will be incomplete on-disk. Also, any such packages will replace these translations upon subsequent installations/updates. IIRC, this behavior can be adjusted by tweaking the %_install_langs RPM macro. I'm sure there are other caveats to be aware of here, but none others come to mind at the moment. That said, this seems far more trouble than it's worth just to free up this extra few hundred MB of disk space. Perhaps you have old mock/Yum caches that you could remove instead? YMMV, of course. -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Who am I? :: http://thecodergeek.com/about-me
