Ok. Let's see if I can redeem myself. 

Run rpm -qa and closely examine the output to look for packages that you 
think you don't need. Try to delete them using rpm -e. If the removal 
causes errors on packages that are dependancies then you need to recurse 
to see if you want to proceed. Actually, you should find a *lot* of stuff 
that you really don't need. If you use pine, do you really need elm? And 
mutt? Are you actually using ldap? Are you using postgres, mysql, amanda, 
joe, ruby, ...

And the beauty is that if you delete them and then find you need them 
again, just put them back.
