Hi folks, FC2 I'm going to test Drupal (http://www.drupal.org/) on this box which has a limited space on HD # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdg2 5.6G 3.5G 1.9G 65% / /dev/hdg1 105M 7.6M 92M 8% /boot none 157M 0 157M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdg5 3.2G 353M 2.7G 12% /home Drupal requests Apache, PHP and MySQL running . To free HD space for them I'm prepared to erase GNOME desktop which I only visit occasionally, most times using KDE. # rpm -qa | grep gnome libgnomecanvas-2.6.0-1 libgnomeprintui22-2.6.0-1 gnome-icon-theme-1.2.0-1 gnomemeeting-1.0.2-2 gnome-vfs-extras-0.2.0-8.1 gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-8 gnome-python2-bonobo-2.0.0-4.1 openssh-askpass-gnome-3.6.1p2-34 gnome-desktop-2.6.0.1-1 up2date-gnome-4.3.19-1 libgnomeui-2.6.0-3 gnome-spell-1.0.5-4.1 gnome-panel-2.6.0-9 gnome-themes-2.6.0-2 gnome-media-2.6.0-1 gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-4.1 gnome-python2-2.0.0-4.1 libgnomecups-0.1.6-7 gnome-pilot-2.0.10-6.1 libgnomeprint22-2.6.0-1 gnome-vfs2-smb-2.6.0-8 libgail-gnome-1.0.2-3.1 gnome-utils-2.6.0-2 libgnome-2.6.0-3 gnome-mime-data-2.4.1-4 gnome-keyring-0.2.0-1 gnome-user-docs-2.6.0.1-2 gnome-mag-0.10.10-2 gnome-system-monitor-2.6.0-3 gnome-session-2.6.0-4 gnome-python2-canvas-2.0.0-4.1 gnome-audio-1.4.0-7 gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2 gnome-vfs-1.0.5-18 gnome-applets-2.6.2.1-1 I have following questions; 1) On/after erasing all GNOME packages will it cause breakage to other packages 2) Can I retain gnomemeeting-1.0.2-2? Can it work without GNOME desktop? 3) What other packages can I strip to free more HD space 4) Which of following commands will be more appropriate on erasing GNOME packages # rpm -e gnome* OR # yum remove gnome* (yum is running on this box for update/install packages) Please advise.
