It should also be noted that there are _excellent_ tools out
there that take a RPM or other repository and tell you
_exactly_ what packages render what inter-dependencies and,
most importantly, the individual and total sizes result.
Most of these tools came from Red Hat's own employees when
the move to Fedora Core 1 was made away from the Red Hat
Linux 10 Beta.

Which is what a YUM-integrated Anaconda in Fedora Core 5+
(thus RHEL 5+) is all about.
