And unless you are short on space that isn't particularly a problem. There are tools that help find leaf packages if you want to do some pruning. I am pretty sure that there is even something that will notice that a package getting removed will make something a leaf and remove that too. I don't use it, since I typically like kitchen sink installations, so I don't have exact details for you. It shouldn't be too hard to find though. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
