Post Scriptum :

	Here's a surprise. I started with a random single choice: "yum 
groupremove Venda Support."  It spat out the "Support" and removed three 
fonts -- or so it said. 

	But when I repeated the listing command, all the other languages 
were also gone : no Arabic, Armenian, Georgian, etc., etc.

	The space used/available, according to baobab, remained at 
2.4/1.2; but df -h showed a gain of 6 MB -- it's a start ...
