Hi all,
I have a Cent OS 5 box with a fairly full install which I'm trying to
strip down. Since this machine will be running headless I would like
to remove all of the X11 stuff which is installed on it. However, it
seems that the "redhat-lsb" package, which I would like to keep, is
dependent on X11
- redhat-lsb depends on /usr/bin/lpr
- /usr/bin/lpr is provided by cups
- cups depends on paps
- paps depends on pango
- pango depends on libX11
libX11 is a library. You can remove the other X11 components but still
keep the shared library.
You won't have a functional X11 - just one library that is from X11.
This is not uncommon - many servers run php/python/perl etc. modules
from drawing stuff that have dependencies on an X11 library - but do not
have X11 installed, just a shared library from it.
