Actually it was: rpm -e portmap nfs-utils ypbind fam gnome-vfs2 yp-tools
redhat-config-nfs libgnome libbonoboui gnome-python2-bonobo libgnomeui
gnome-python2 redhat-config-httpd redhat-config-bind
redhat-config-services redhat-config-network redhat-config-packages cups
redhat-lsb redhat-config-printer redhat-config-printer-gui at mdadm apmd

Why the heck all that is needed for an internet server install is beyond
me (not really).  I guess that RH/Centos just throw cups and portmap/nfs
stuff in there in the rare case that someone wants to build an NFS or
printer server.  I would think that the likelihood is greater that when
some installs the server version they DON'T want cups, portmap/nfs as
well as apmd.  Really, what the heck good is apmd on a server?
