I've got FC3 running with no XWindows for a server machine. I set it up to play with the http, ftp and mail servers. When I installed it I tried to leave off everything that I didn't need but there appear to be a lot of packages that got in that I don't want or can't use because I don't have X. The output from rpm -qa is below with some of that packages marked with an *. Those are the ones I don't think I need or can't use. I would appreciate any opinions on whether I should keep them or if it is OK to rpm -e em. If there are any other packages that you think are not needed in a no X server please tell me. Thanks, knute... rootfiles-8-1 termcap-5.4-3 audit-0.5-1 device-mapper-1.00.19-2 ethtool-1.8-4 hdparm-5.7-2 libcap-1.10-20 libstdc++-3.4.2-6.fc3 mingetty-1.07-3 fedora-release-3-8 popt-1.9.1-21
