The Fedora Minimal project is responsible for shaving something like 50MB of unnecessary dependencies off of the "minimal" option. Check: http://simpaticus.com/linux/barebones-server-howto.php And in particular look for "Trimming The Fat" sections. His purpose is to reuse old hardware for firewall/smtp types of systems that do not need to be performance, but should keep boxes from hitting the trash and should be safe with minimal disk space. The same result is useful for other purposes. Greg
