Hi all, I want a very minimal install of FC5, without any X, etc. I've installed with all the options in the customize package selection area except "base" and the install is nearly 1GB! I've also done an install with everything unchecked (including base) and the install size is over 750GB. Both installs also include several xorg packages, ghostscript, etc. Why??? A minimal install shouldn't include all of that extra cruft. I think that it might be due to cups dependencies. IIRC, previous minimal installs of Fedora were only about 400-500 MB. So, here's the question: why does the minimal install include all of these extra packages that are not necessary for a text-only system? And why are the printing packages always installed? This has been a pet-peeve of mine for the last several versions of Fedora/Red Hat; printing packages are always installed even if explicitly un-selected... AJL
