Hi all, I have a Cent OS 5 box with a fairly full install which I'm trying to strip down. Since this machine will be running headless I would like to remove all of the X11 stuff which is installed on it. However, it seems that the "redhat-lsb" package, which I would like to keep, is dependent on X11 - redhat-lsb depends on /usr/bin/lpr - /usr/bin/lpr is provided by cups - cups depends on paps - paps depends on pango - pango depends on libX11 Is it possible to safely break this dependancy chain so that I keep redhat-lsb while removing X11? I'm trying to keep all of my package management restricted to 'yum' and I certainly want to avoid 'rpm -- nodeps'. Looking at /etc/alternatives/ makes me think there must be another package besides cups which provides /usr/bin/lpr but I can't seem to find it. I won't be doing any printing from this machine so I would even be happy with a dummy /usr/bin/lpr which simply throws away anything it receives. Thanks, - Richard
