My phrasing was poor, since I meant to say that in order to keep up2date, I had to keep all these other packages. Could you take a look at the doc to which I pointed you in the last message, and see if you can recommend some solutions to me? Specifically the second table of "controversial" package removals... I had to lose up2date to get rid of these 15MB, I had to lose yum to get rid of another 31MB, and I had to lose passwd to get rid of another 10MB. That's three crucial packages lost, but 56MB of stuff deleted. What can I proactively suggest to the Fedora packagers and developers that will help all of us reduce the packages in a minimal install?
