Dear Sam, Thanks for your time, actually I reduced the number of packages to less than 130 cause I'm not even need mail server, firewall, ... . > As I said, to determine your own minimum, start with a base install and > work down from there. Look at requires/depends with rpm, and run "yum > remove foo" (and answer "n" if you don't like what is going to be > removed). Dear Chris, I've followed this way and now I have a working Fedora with less than 130 packages. Now all those remained packages have many dependencies to fundamental packages but I think some of those dependencies can be ignored.
