Not quite true. It pulls such things like XFree86-libs (and more). To
support such minimal installs we need to split urpmi into urpmi-base,
urpmi-text, urpmi-x. Or possibly two urpmi-text and urpmi-gui.
Here is result of basys install + snf-en with all dependencies. A couple
of things were extra selected (rsync I guess and may be kernel-secure):
bor@cooker% rpm -r /wrk -qa | wc -l
186
not as minimal as I would like to see it.
