what about posting the "yum"-output and switch generally to

i bet there are a lot of non-important packages which would be

it is possible to install a full functional fedora with a KDE desktop,
rpmfusion including VMware and Eclipse with 7.0 GB ussed space by
the system (proven by working daily with this machine for along time)
