Hi folks,
FedoraCore2
I'm going to test Drupal (
http://www.drupal.org/) on this box which has a limited space on HD
# df -h
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdg2 5.6G 3.5G 1.9G 65% /
/dev/hdg1 105M 7.6M 92M 8% /boot
none 157M 0 157M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdg5 3.2G 353M 2.7G 12% /home
Drupal requests Apache, PHP and MySQL running . To free HD space for them I'm prepared to erase GNOME desktop which I only visit occasionally, most times using KDE.
# rpm -qa | grep gnome
Code:
libgnomecanvas-2.6.0-1
libgnomeprintui22-2.6.0-1
gnome-icon-theme-1.2.0-1
gnomemeeting-1.0.2-2
gnome-vfs-extras-0.2.0-8.1

gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2
gnome-vfs-1.0.5-18

I have following questions;
1) On/after erasing all GNOME packages will it cause breakage to other packages
2) Can I retain gnomemeeting-1.0.2-2? Can it work without GNOME desktop?
3) What other packages can I strip to free more HD space
4) Which of following commands will be more appropriate on erasing GNOME packages
# rpm -e gnome*
OR
# yum remove gnome*
(yum is running on this box for update/install packages)
Please advise. TIA
B.R.
