portmap

[Vano Beridze]

Hello

I've got fedora core 2.
What is portmap package for? I mean I can't uninstall it

rpm -e portmap gives me

error reading information on service portmap:  No such file or directory
error %preun(portmap-4-0-59) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

I'm just trying to make my system minimal and removing all packages I 
don't need.
If it's an important package I won't remove it. Is it recommended to run 
portmap service at startup also?

Thank you
