OK, call me stupid (shoosh you), but... this is the first time I have messed
with a distribution as a whole, especially during the install procedures.
I've messed with the Red Hat installer a bit (the 5.x/6.x version) but that
was quite different.... so:

How? How would I remove the packages and regen hdlist/deplist? Are we
talking during the install? If that's the case, no prob. Just CTL-ALT to the
prompt and rpm -e the rogue files... right?

<oh boy it's like learning to code all over again>
