I had the same experience with Mageia 1 - the lowest I could get was somewhere in the high 500. I spent some time tinkering with that but whatever I tried, whichever package I wanted to remove, I always ended up with the removal of part of the base system. In the end I gave up (possibly due to lack of knowledge) :( I just checked Olivier's suggestion, ending up with some 270 packages... -- wobo
