Thanks, btw, there are a number of rpms etc that are involved in the
installation. It would be nice if the LiveCD installation would
automatically get rid of things that are never going to be of any use.
The Ubuntu LiveCD (such as XFCE/LXDE) for instance has an explicit
process which describes unneeded rpms (they call them .debs) being
removed. It would be more efficient and less wasteful of resources for
F to also get rid of these rpms which have no role to play as
installation. 

Best wishes,
