Hello, the 'initscripts' package has dependencies on lot of low-level stuff like dev, e2fsprogs, ethtool... Because 'initscripts' are required by nearly every daemon, these low-level tools will be installed everytime. E.g. a simple ftp server will require LVM2 tools. Possible solution: * split 'initscripts' into the following subpackages: - core with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions', '/sbin/service'; this is required by daemons - -startup with the currently shipped services (e.g. halt, killall), the rc.* scripts - -net with network related part Enrico -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
