I did something similar once now that you mention it.  I even when so far 
as to look in the 'RedHat/base/comps' file but was disapointed that Redhat 
thought japanese language support was a base item along with the xfont 
server (xfs).
   I'll look again and see what it says.  Wish I had a test machine again.  
Everything is being used! Damn.

I did like Dan Young's suggestion so will look at that right away.


Next question to the list at large.  (And because I know Randal L. makes 
guest appearances here).  Is there a perl module or example code to create 
dependency trees?  Is this the right term?  (Ain't wanabe programmers a 
pain!)
