Here's a good starting point for fc6 kick. %packages -@dial-up -@java I can't remember exactly, but the installed footprint gets significantly smaller. If you can live without the above. Beyond that, it's a matter of style/opinion. Here's just some example hunklets: # irrelevant hardware -ccid -coolkey.i386 -coolkey.x86_64 -bluez-libs -bluez-pin -bluez-utils -irda-utils -pcmciautils # the Xeons in this ProLiant don't know a damn thing about low power -cpuspeed # unwanted services -NetworkManager -gpm.i386 -gpm.x86_64 -nfs-utils -portmap -yp-tools -ypbind # useless things that drag in other deps -firstboot-tui -system-config-network-tui -system-config-securitylevel-tui It goes on and on...and I've successfully removed upon install *all* i386 packages on an x86_64 system without screwing up the rpm verify database. Of course your mileage may vary. Nobody wants to see things like nfs/nis/etc. go away. Just if they aren't desired initially. ../C -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
