You could check the list of installed rpm's in your 95MB installation with
'rpm -qa | sort | more'. To get more information about an installed rpm,
just ask it like 'rpm -qi wu-ftpd-2.4.2b17-2'. To get a list of files
included an installed rpm ask it 'rpm -ql wu-ftpd-2.4.2b17-2'. To query
in which rpm a file is included, do it like 'rpm -qf /bin/tcsh'. 
To remove an installed rpm do it like 'rpm -e wu-ftpd-2.4.2b17-2'. After
deleting nonsense rpms create a list of installed packages as 
'rpm -qa | sort > mysetup.txt'. 

To make it easier for the next equal setup, create a kickstart setup file.
Never had time enough to make a kickstart config file, but like to hear
more information, if someone has it.
