Hence this one command helps a lot for future updates. Of course if you needed a specific langauge support then you could follow the above with yum install openoffice.org-langpack-he_IL or whatever you need - this is still a great saving in dowload time/space and update time/space compared to leaving everything in your system even if you don;t need it. <pre>Hence even if everything else is downloaded at install you can make the above change and still be efficient for updates. Jeff has already hinted at this in a previous posting on this topic. A similar trick can be played concerning kde-i18n-* again in my case I keep kde-i18n-British but remove the other language support rpms via yum remove. I would imagine that most people would need only 1 or possibly a few language support files on any single machine? Mike </pre> -- mike cohler
