I noticed that anaconda requires firefox thus requiring more

The KDE spin might suffer from this as well.
Is there any specific reason why anaconda needs firefox ?
Dependency insanity for directory ownership :/ anaconda doesn't require
firefox, it requires zenity (so that we can give a way for people to do
progress in some cases). zenity requires yelp because of having a help
file in a directory and that then spirals onward. Work on fixing it is
underway
Also I've seen on KDE Livecd (moonshine), the rhgb isn't
launched.
After installing KDE desktop from the KDE spin, there is still no
rhgb.
yum install rhgb. rhgb is installed but doesn't launch on boot.
RexDieter recommended the installation of @base-x on the newly
installed fedora to ensure rhgb's launch. Thus surely rhgb misses some
requires.
There's more than just the package being installed that's needed. You
also need rhgb on the kernel command line. We don't do this on the live
images because the last time I tried, even with rhgb installed, it
didn't work. There was a problem with it not liking a lack
of /etc/mtab, but even after I fixed that, it wasn't wanting to work.
