devel packages

[Jason Dravet]

I just completed a custom install of FC3T3 and I ended up with 39 devel
packages on my PC.  I then went to up2date the system and there are 226
updates, 6 of which are devel updates.  One of the updates is rpm-devel
(3.3MB).  Some of the others are: glibc-devel (2MB), libgcj-devel (6.7MB)
and libstdc++-devel (8.7MB).  I went to command prompt and rpm -e rpm-devel
and the package was erased.  There was no warning about a package being
dependent on the rpm-devel package so why was it installed?  Do I really
need the devel packages?  For those of us with dial up it would nice if FC
did not any unnecessary devel packages.  

Thanks,

Jason
