Hi All, I think this might be a faq, but here goes... I have a custom comps.xml, and a kickstart install that works. Only that I seem to pull this one package from my HTTP repository: compat-gcc-c++ Its dependency tree stretches like: compat-gcc compat-libstdc++ compat-libstdc++-devel glibc-devel glibc-headers glibc-kernheaders Now, I can't see any package that requires compat-gcc-c++: [root@ginny root]# rpm -q --whatrequires compat-gcc-g++ no package requires compat-gcc-g++ It is not referred anywhere in my comps.xml file either. [root@avalanche base]# grep compat-gcc-c++ comps.xml [root@avalanche base]# So I'm at a loss why this one package and its dependencies are being pulled into my minimal install. This is RHEL3-U7. TIA, Binand
