Gnome and Kde help
Hi, I installed Fedora Core 5 on an old laptop. I had to install it in the text based installer since Anaconda required too much ram. I unchecked the gnome and office and productivity suites but after the install I still have a lot of gui packages such as nautilus, totem and a large number of kde libraries. I really dont think I need any of these since im planning on using XFCE or no gui at all. But seeing how my computer is low on memory and cpu power I want to make sure I dont have extra packages and processes slowing it down. I already tried a "rpm -e nautilus" but it always comes up with other programs that need that package. Rather than just rip out each packet one by one, a very tedious process, is there any way I can remove all the packages I don't need.
I would still like X.Org and a functional X window system so I can try XFCE. I also don't want to accidently cripple my system. Does anyone have any idea?
