You can first of all see if they're currently installed:
$ rpm -q gtk2 mesa-libGL
If they are, you can check what package(s) requires them by asking yum
to remove them:
# yum remove gtk2 mesa-libGL
You probably won't want to actually remove these packages, so be sure
not to use "yum -y" and be careful to respond "N" when prompted whether
to go ahead with the removal or not.
Thanks - very helpful. The gtk2 libs, for example, are required by a
whole bunch of stuff I didn't want, and didn't think I had anyway, such
as Gnome. The only kicker is that they're also required for
system-config-*, which are useful little programs I think. Would you
happen to know whether they do anything that can't be done by other
means? I would have to guess not...
In any case, I now know what to do, so thanks very much -
Peter
