firstboot just runs through a few configuration utilities. (time/date, Red 
Hat network, and offers the chance to install additional rpms.) There is 
no real need to run it, as far as I know. 
It will run the first time you boot into run-level 5. It may run if you do 
"init 5" I'm not sure. It will never run in run level 3.

I don't know that you need either. Try uninstalling them, and see what rpm 
complains about. ;)
