Remove samba-client from fedora-live-minimization.ks ?

[Adam Williamson]

So we have this file called fedora-live-minimization.ks that most of the
spins include, which removes several packages in the interests of space
saving.

One of them is samba-client. I guess it was considered
unimportant...however, once I wiped the spittle off of
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/fedora-18-kde.html , I was able to
figure out that samba-client is required to be installed for you to be
able to configure Samba network printers. So if you run or install from
any of our live images, without installing samba-client manually, you
can't configure a Windows network printer. That seems kind of a loss,
and it doesn't save a _huge_ amount of space, something on the order of
5MB.

I propose we ditch it from the 'minimization' list for F19. Specific
spins could still drop it if they wanted to, but I don't think it makes
sense to leave it out at this low a level.

Another interesting thing on the minimization list is hplip/hpijs -
looks like we're giving suboptimal printer support to HP owners in our
lives by default...those do have a significant size impact, though, as
they haul in perl.

I'm OK with that. If a particular spin needs to keep them gone to make 
its target size, it can still remove them.

Sure, feel free to re-add.
