Hello, The alpha release of the RULE Distribution ANalyzer from the RULE projectis available online at http://www.rule-project.org/cgi-bin/dan.cgi The DAn (which can be ported to other distros) is targeted to whoever needs to quickly hand-pick Red Hat packages for any reason, from server administrators to users who need an internet kiosk or MP3 juke box with the same user-space packages present on their standard desktop. Its final version should give complete answers (EVEN ONLINE, OR WITHOUT FORCING YOU TO INSTALL THAT RH VERSION) to questions like: How much space will version X of Red Hat need? How much space will it take if I remove this and that package? I don't really care about specific packages, programs, and desktop environments. I just want a box that does {any set of tasks}, and, for each task (eg email client), guarantees certain functionalities (eg POP3 support). SAID THIS, WHAT IS THE SMALLEST COMPLETE SET OF RPM PACKAGES WHICH GIVES THAT, AND WHERE DO I FIND THEM? More info, and the URL to the source, are displayed by the script itself. Thanks in advance for any feedback, Marco Fioretti -- Marco Fioretti m.fioretti, at the server inwind.it Red Hat for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/en/ They can't stop us... we're on a mission from God! -- The Blues Brothers -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
