Could you give some examples of the packages installed by an upgrade that you thought were not necessary? Sorry I lost that list - _but_ and update should just not install _any_ packets. Unless they are already installed in an old version or required by an dependency. My disk space runs tight and I cannot upgrade anymore because every upgrade installs a bunch of things I just remove later... hmmm ... there are a "base" set of packages that are always installed by an upgrade ... if you are seeing packages other than these "base" packages, please list them and we'll look at them individually, however, in general upgrades will always ensure a "base" set of packages are installed ... Some packages which make up the "base" for the i386 in 7 include: MAKEDEV, SysVinit, anacron, apmd, ash, at, authconfig, basesystem, bash, bc, bdflush, bzip2, chkconfig, console-tools, cpio, cracklib, cracklib-dicts, crontabs, cyrus-sasl, openssl, perl, db1, db2, db3, dev, dhcpcd, diffutils, e2fsprogs, ed, eject, file, filesystem, fileutils, findutils, gawk, gdbm, glib, glibc, gmp, gnupg, gpm, grep, groff, gzip, hdparm, isapnptools, lilo, info, initscripts, kbdconfig, kernel, kernel-pcmcia-cs, kernel-utils, krb5-libs, kudzu, less, libstdc++, libtermcap, linuxconf, logrotate, losetup, mailcap, mailx, man, mingetty, mkbootdisk, mkinitrd, mktemp, modutils, mount, mouseconfig, ncompress, ncurses, net-tools, newt, ntsysv, openldap, pam, passwd, pciutils, popt , procmail, procps, psmisc, pump, pwdb, quota, raidtools, readline, redhat-logos, redhat-release, rootfiles, rpm, sash, sed, sendmail, setserial, setup, setuptool, sh-utils, shadow-utils, slang, slocate, stat, sysklogd, tar, termcap, textutils, time, timeconfig, tmpwatch, utempter, util-linux, vim-common, vim-minimal, vixie-cron, which, words, zlib |
