I don't care whether the practical minimum is "base" or "core," and I
think I'm not alone in being unable to see the difference between the terms.
The problem is that the word "minimum" is so heavily loaded (and
differently loaded) that if you use it, you make no one happy. So, you
pick different terms so that people can have the "minimum" they are
looking for
I was both joking, and making your point about this, regarding ed vs vi.

You mean RH actually lets you have friday nights off?

There are images for x86_64 and ppc. i386 just failed for some reason
I haven't yet determined.

I just did this install with F8[1] and it worked as I expected. The
only things in the output of 'rpm -qa |grep -i selinux' is libselinux
and its python bindings. Which are required by other things which get
installed and can't really be taken out without rebuilding things to not
link with the library

As mentioned, it *used* to work for me, up through at least 11.4.0.21.
I'm running 11.4.0.28 now and this just started happening to me.
I anticipate trying it on rawhide (11.4.0.30+), once the i386 images
are back.

Aha, I missed that specific tidbit. Or had forgotten by the time we got
this far in the thread. Or something. I have no excuses for myself
really.

The code for doing the removal has changed (so that we can use globs
like you can when adding packages). It's entirely possible a buglet
creeped in at the same time. Should be quick and easy to knock out,
though
