Everybody's list of "essential" packages is different. For example, most people would have "passwd" on their list, since without it, you can't set a password for logging in. You may be using network logins, even for root, so you might put NIS or LDAP client packages on your "essential" list instead, but most do not (or don't for all users), so they'd want "passwd" (and may not want NIS/LDAP support as "essential"). Some things are installed because they are dependencies. For example, even though you may never use "awk" yourself, the standard init scripts use and require it, so you can't remove it. If you don't like the core packages in the Fedora list, you'll have to decide on your own what you consider "essential"; nobody can make that decision for you. You can go through the list of installed packages and use rpm and yum to see what the dependencies are (to see what you can remove and what is required by basic system packages). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
