No way!  I'm trying to reduce a CentOS 5 install and having a heck of a 
time with the dependences.  GConf seems to require X stuff and on and on.

The other stuff I like and kind of need is Perl so I can run Fcheck and 
a few other custom monitoring/reporting scripts.

I'll look at Busybox.


Thanks,
