I notice that when I install GNOME, it pulls in all kinds of multimedia-related things, like gstreamer and esound. I don't even have a sound card in this system, so clearly these don't help me at all. However, for some reason a lot of other, seemingly unrelated packages depend on these media component. For example, trying to remove esound fails because esound is a dependancy of libgnome and libbobonoui and gdm. Do these REALLY need esound to function? Similarly, gstreamer is a dependancy for evolution and gnomecontrolcenter. Is there any easy way to get GNOME installed without these useless components? --Mike
