Hi all, On Centos 5.4 minimum installation, I tried to install these packages (notice the dependencies): =================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size =================================================================================================================== Installing: mc i386 1:4.6.1a-35.el5 base 2.1 M mdadm i386 2.6.9-2.el5 base 827 k ntp i386 4.2.2p1-9.el5.centos.2.1 updates 1.3 M sudo i386 1.6.9p17-5.el5 base 218 k Installing for dependencies: exim i386 4.63-3.el5 base 1.2 M mysql i386 5.0.77-4.el5_4.1 updates 4.8 M perl i386 4:5.8.8-27.el5 base 12 M perl-DBI i386 1.52-2.el5 base 600 k postgresql-libs i386 8.1.18-2.el5_4.1 updates 196 k

I didn't want all those dependencies, especially exim and mysql. So, instead of installing mc, mdadm, ntp, and sudo at the same time, I installed them one by one and this time no exim and mysql (mc still wanted perl, fine) dependencies. Any thought why was that? Thank you.
