GNOME without media?

2006-01-17 Thread Mike Edenfield
I notice that when I install GNOME, it pulls in all kinds of 
multimedia-related things, like gstreamer and esound.  I don't even have 
a sound card in this system, so clearly these don't help me at all. 
However, for some reason a lot of other, seemingly unrelated packages 
depend on these media component.


For example, trying to remove esound fails because esound is a 
dependancy of libgnome and libbobonoui and gdm.  Do these REALLY need 
esound to function?  Similarly, gstreamer is a dependancy for evolution 
and gnomecontrolcenter.


Is there any easy way to get GNOME installed without these useless 
components?

Lots of gnome components have to have gstreamer or esound.
