I doubt anything needs the raw schema files, even gconf probably doesn't since I assume it builds a database with the information from the schemas. Although if you want to uninstall a package, you'll need the schemas to unregister it. I didn't think the schemas would take up much space, but they do take up around 16MB on my machine for a full GNOME install (minus accessibility tools). So I assume why you're asking is so you can delete them for space? -- Kevin Jordan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
