Question on erasing Gnome desktop

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

FC2 

I'm going to test Drupal (http://www.drupal.org/) on
this box which has a limited space on HD

# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdg2             5.6G  3.5G  1.9G  65% /
/dev/hdg1             105M  7.6M   92M   8% /boot
none                  157M     0  157M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdg5             3.2G  353M  2.7G  12% /home

Drupal requests Apache, PHP and MySQL running .  To
free HD space for them I'm prepared to erase GNOME
desktop which I only visit occasionally, most times
using KDE.

# rpm -qa | grep gnome
libgnomecanvas-2.6.0-1

gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2
gnome-vfs-1.0.5-18

I have following questions;

1) On/after erasing all GNOME packages will it cause
breakage to other packages
2) Can I retain gnomemeeting-1.0.2-2?  Can it work
without GNOME desktop?
3) What other packages can I strip to free more HD
space
4) Which of following commands will be more
appropriate on erasing GNOME packages

# rpm -e gnome*

OR

# yum remove gnome*
(yum is running on this box for update/install
packages)

Please advise. TIA

B.R.
