If you use a packaging system (e.g., RPM, Debian) then you would have several subpackages that contain only the files you need for specific tasks. (If you don't, download the packages anyway to find out how the files are split up.) Manually deleting particular files is a risky process, and it depends on your configuration options, operating system, and what you want to do with the system later on. I would advise against it, since no one is going to want to help you later on if it turns out that you have manually butchered your system. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
