I just tried my first 'yum update'. The list of packages to be updatedincluded 'gtk2' and 'mesa-libGL', but the system that I'm updating wasinstalled without an X server. Aren't those graphics packages?

I am just curious as to why they would have been included during theinstall process. My impression was that 'yum update' would only updatepackages that are currently installed on the machine - is this correct?PS I'm not an anti-GUI fanatic, I'm just curious :-)


Thanks very much...
