You can always do a "yum erase" (WITHOUT the -y option) to see what it would take with it if removed. For me it is: Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Removing: PersonalCopy-Lite-patches noarch 4.1-3.fc8 installed 52 M Removing for dependencies: SDL_mixer x86_64 1.2.8-6.fc8 installed 210 k neverball x86_64 1.4.0-10.fc8 installed 29 M There is also rpm -q -i to find out what the heck it is: rpm -q -i PersonalCopy-Lite-patches Name : PersonalCopy-Lite-patches Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 4.1 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 3.fc8 Build Date: Tue Mar 4 16:14:25 2008 Install Date: Thu Apr 10 18:08:39 2008 Build Host: xenbuilder4.fedora.phx.redhat.com Group : Applications/Multimedia Source RPM: PersonalCopy-Lite-soundfont-4.1-3.fc8.src.rpm Size : 54293833 License: Redistributable, no modification permitted Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue Apr 8 08:00:53 2008, Key ID b44269d04f2a6fd2 Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://www.personalcopy.com/sfarkfonts1.htm Summary : PersonalCopy Lite General Midi soundfont in GUS patch format Description : Lite (smaller) version of the PersonalCopy General Midi soundfont in GUS (Gravis Ultrasound) patch (.pat) format. So it looks like it is sound "fonts" for midi players. And, after all, who wouldn't welcome 54 megs of sound samples? (I'm glad they picked the "lite" version :-).
