acpi* mageia-gfxboot-them are pulled by the installer mandi* shorewall (& thus iptables*) too. I've asked previously if we want a firewall installed before summary, anne & blino said it was OK microcode* is pulled b/c your CPU supports patching idem for cpufreq dhcp was selected b/c there was a network interface configured as DHCP dmraid (& thus kpartx) was selected b/c you've some fake raid (...) you always got gpg-pubkey, those are fake packages containing the keys used to verify packages
