This is how I pared it down, from whatever YaST2 selected as the default when I installed. It seems as though there was an obvious way to do this on the SLES10 RC I started testing on, but once I started looking at FCS code the option was either removed, or I simply didn't take good enough notes, because it was not obvious to me how to achieve the same result on FCS. X11 apps such as YaST2 still work remotely, if they must be used. This is in chunks because there were dependency issues to figure out. --begin excerpt from notes 14) clean up software selections. rpm -e \ kdelibs3 \ kdelibs3-32bit rm -rf /opt/kde3/share/icons rpm -e \ libgsf-fnome \ eel \ gedit \ control-center2 \ nautilus-open-terminal \ gal2 \ evince \ eog \ librsvg \ gedit \ susehelp \ file-roller \ nautilus-share \ system-tools-backends \ gnome-media \ gnome-volume-manager \ gdm \ susehelp_en \ gnome-cups-manager \ gnome-keyring-manager \ gnome-screensaver \ gnome-spell2 \ libgnomesu \ gnome-power-manager \ hal-gnome \ gnome-session \ gnome-panel-nld \ gnome-applets \ gnome-utils \ gnome2-user-docs \ gtkhtml2 \ gnome-desktop \ libgnomeprintui \ gnome-main-menu \ yelp \ nautilus rm -rf /etc/opt/gnome/gdm rpm -e \ python-gnome \ gnome-terminal \ gnome-system-monitor \ libgnomeui-32bit \ gnome-keyring-32bit \ gnome-panel-nld-32bit \ gnome-desktop-32bit \ eel-32bit \ nautilus-32bit \ libgnomecanvas-32bit \ gail-32bit \ libbonoboui-32bit \ libgnomeprintui-32bit rpm -e \ gail \ at-spi \ gconf2 \ gconf2-32bit \ evolution-data-server \ evolution-data-server-32bit \ gcalctool \ gconf-editor \ gnome-doc-utils \ gnome-menus \ gnome-menus-32bit \ gnome-nettool \ gnome-vfs2-32bit \ gstreamer010-plugins-base \ gstreamer010-plugins-base-32bit \ gstreamer010-plugins-good \ gucharmap \ libgda \ libgnome-32bit \ librsvg-32bit \ gstreamer010-plugins-base \ gnome-menus \ glib-sharp2 \ gmime \ gtk-sharp2 \ zen-updater \ gnome2-NLD \ gnome-audio \ gnome-printer-add \ gnome-themes \ gtk2-engines \ gtk2-themes \ gtk2-engines-32bit \ gtk-sharp2-32bit \ gtksourceview \ libgnomedb \ iso-codes \ libnotify \ libsexy \ notification-daemon \ libgnomecups \ libgnomeprint \ libgnomecups-32bit \ libgnomeprint-32bit \ metacity \ tango-icon-theme \ vino \ zenity \ libgsf rpm -e \ awesfx \ cdparanoia \ evolution-data-server \ gle \ gstreamer010 \ guile \ jack \ libmusicbrainz \ libraw1394 \ libcddb \ thinkeramik-style \ xscreensaver \ libcdio \ vcdimager rpm -e \ bootsplash \ bootsplash-theme-SuSE-SLES \ cpufrequtils \ usbutils --end excerpt Disclaimers: Typos my responsibility. If there is something you see in the list of packages I removed, which you would like to keep, there may be dependencies to be satisfied. We're just getting ready to roll out SLES10 into production. The list may or may not require amendments once it has to stand up to user scrutiny and demand. ok r. ps. RC = "release candidate" ; FCS = "first customer ship".
