Since I didn't got that many answers here, I just did some tests and it works quite well the way it is in fact. Using glibc for basesystem is a good idea because bash will bring it in and almost everything brings bash (or /bin/sh) in. So only some particular packages (noarch, no interpreter) can be installed without filesystem (I also found some very strange lack of dependency on libc!!!). This leads to a rather long list on my computer nevertheless, with, for example man-pages-2.67-1.fc9 mailcap-2.1.25-1.fc8 busybox ipw2200-firmware-3.0-9 rootfiles-8.1-1.1.1 words-3.0-12.fc7 termcap control-center-filesystem-2.20.1-6.fc9 emacs-el-22.1-8.fc9 and many doc packages. So point is that the lack of dependency on the filesystem package cannot really be overcome. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
