	Hi Frank,

		I would agree with you. However, I guess (with my
suggestion) I am assuming (oh boy) that the deleted cpp package would
be getting replaced, wouldn't it?  I just checked the output of the
'rpm -q --requires gcc' command, and it listed the cpp package. I
don't want people nuking their systems on my account. I also did
a test of 'yum remove cpp', and noticed the who;e raft of things
that would get removed along with it (including a whole slew of
xorg driver packages? WTF?). Later,
