Karl:

This may or may not do the trick... Try removing with rpm -e.  Something
like this usually works for me whenever I'm removing something like X
that has tons of dependencies:

for rpm in $(rpm -qa | grep "^XFree86")
        do
        rpm -e $rpm
        done

Of course, with X, there will be so many applications that also depend
on it...

Does anyone know whether rpm has  the functionality to recurse through a
packages dependency tree and either prompt for removal or just wipe out
everything that depends on a package you know you want to remove?  Or,
is there, perhaps a contrib util for rpm that could handle such a thing?

And, one question for you, Karl, did you choose "Server", "Workstation",
or "Developer" from the menu when installing?  I don't know, but I would
guess that Server might not install X.  Can anyone confirm that?
