That's the shotgun blast to get you started. If you want to fine tune things a bit, you can do something like: 'rpm -qa | sort > starting_rpmlist' and then go through that list removing what you don't need. If you're not sure what a package is, 'rpm -qi packagename' will give you a brief description of it. If you don't need it, use yum to remove it. Caution against a -y with yum when doing this, as occasionally a seemingly innocent package or something you don't know about might and up removing large chunks of things. Yum lets you know what it's taking, so a quick glance over the remove deps is a good idea. -- This message has been double ROT13 encoded for security.
