Fedora 14 Base Install is installing extra package groups?

When I'm running, I like to just do a base install to start, so that, I can go from there, only added things that I need. I just did a Base install of Fedora 14 x86_64, selecting only the "Base" package, and "vim-enhanced".

But, when running a grouplist, it comes back with this...

Code:

[root@fcdesktop01 ~]# yum grouplist

Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Adding en_US to language list

Setting up Group Process

Installed Groups:

  Base

  Dial-up Networking Support

  Editors

  Hardware Support

  Input Methods

  Mail Server

  Milkymist

  Network Servers

  System Tools

I don't see why these extra groups are included, when all I asked for was Base and vim?

Is it safe to delete these?

Please try installing with this mode "linux text". This is a text mode install which will only the basic OS without any of these packages. With regards to your query, yes you can safely uninstall all of these if you do not require them.
