The default installations of Fedora 12 (64-bit intel and 32-bit ppc, at least) are really bloated. There are tons of new packages that don’t belong in a default installation. There are a ton more than I just don’t have any need for. To be fair, you can do a net install which gives you a smaller footprint to begin with and you have the option to customize the installations to avoid installing anything you don’t need in the first place. But do I really need special support packages for specific Lexmark printers by default? How about cheese, ivtv-firmware, or fpaste?

Most of these are just language fonts, but seriously, I just don’t need to be able to see arabic or japanese characters since I can’t read those languages. So these just fall into the I-don’t-need category.
