Yum is great for adding packages. I never use it to remove packages. I might use it to give me a list of packages to remove and then modify that list and then do: rpm -e $(cat list.txt) If I do use yum to remove a package group, then I would install "X Window System", "Desktop" and any other things that might be impacted. Yum always has, IMHO, removed too many things when using it to uninstall. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
