List of removed packages by size: http://fpaste.org/rokW/ by name: http://fpaste.org/iYGp/ Total 322960 4kB blocks ~ 1261 MB. That more or less matches, doesn't it? Most space was saved by stripping translations (KDE, libreoffice), aspell and some fonts. I guess the translations will be downloaded during/after installation... or not? -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
