I remember trying to make a Fedora router system which would fit onto 250 MB flash. I failed because of the dependency bloat that we're talking about today. So now, I don't remember all of the not needed packages (and some of them look fixed, for example, passwd required cyrus-sasl back then), but I want to ask you, what is this Kerberos thing? Look :) $ rpm -qi krb5-libs (...) Kerberos is a network authentication system. The krb5-libs package contains the shared libraries needed by Kerberos 5. If you are using Kerberos, you need to install this package. I don't need it (never heard of it, actually), so I don't need to install it (according to the description), hooray, let's remove it (it's 1,2 MiB big!). # yum remove krb5-libs (...) Remove 650 Package(s) Is this ok [y/N]: ;) It'd be hard to convince so many apps that the lib can be optional and somehow dynamically loaded, so go on, call me a troll and don't feed me. I admit that it's the description that made it funny for me, not the dependency tree. Lam
