You know.. one man's poison is another man's... What I do these days is accept the stock Red Hat install, then un-install everything I don't need afterwards via rpm -e; the cascade dependencies will strip almost everything away with semi-frightening ease. of course something as basic as Pine requires a ton of dependencies (kerberos, openssl...) but i can get a Red Hat install down to 1GB or so. no sense beating myself over the head, hard disk is cheap. once have a nice clean no-X install, just mkkickstart to clone it to other boxes. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
