I just got myself an OpenRD Client embedded box with an old Fedora 8 on it. Runs like a charm, only problem is that the default install has X on it, which I would like to remove in order to free up some space.

I found a similar post here on the same topic, but yum groupremove doesn't work in my case, yum grouplist returns nothing, so I presume that no groups are defined. I don't know if this is because fedora 8 didn't have any groups, or because the OpenRD build is special in some way.

In any case, I would like some tips on which package(s) to remove in order to remove an as big chunk of X as possible.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to safely remove the xorg-x11-server-* and xorg-x11-drv-* packages, which are only used to run the X server itself. If you have no intention of ever connecting to it in order to run a graphical application then you can go as far down as libX* and libxcb.
