+With that I passed from 580 to 398 (I added 6 to my list). So I still
+have a problem I do not really understand. I included (IMO) no X11
+program, and however still get lots of x11 related stuff. Now putting
+plymouth apart, for example I see:
+
+# urpme libx11-common
+Pour satisfaire les dépendances, les 4 paquetages suivants vont être
+désinstallés (3.7Mo):
+  libx11-common-1.4.99.1-4.mga2.x86_64
+  x11-server-xorg-1.11.4-2.1.mga2.x86_64
+   (en raison du manque de libx11-common)
+  xdm-1.1.11-5.mga2.x86_64
+   (car xinitrc > 2.4.19-9 est non satisfait)
+  xinitrc-2.4.21-4.mga2.noarch
+   (en raison du manque de x11-server-xorg)
+Supprimer 4 paquetages ? (o/N)
+
+None of these 4 are coming from me, nor should come from suggests now
+that I do not include them. So how can I get them ?
+
+Same for:
+# urpme x11-server-common
+Pour satisfaire les dépendances, les 5 paquetages suivants vont être
+désinstallés (4.1Mo):
+  x11-driver-input-evdev-2.7.0-1.mga2.x86_64
+   (car xserver-abi(xinput-13) >= 0 est non satisfait,
+    en raison du manque de x11-server-common)
+  x11-server-common-1.11.4-2.1.mga2.x86_64
+  x11-server-xorg-1.11.4-2.1.mga2.x86_64
+   (car x11-server-common == 1.11.4-2.1.mga2 est non satisfait,
+    en raison du manque de x11-driver-input-evdev)
+  xdm-1.1.11-5.mga2.x86_64
+   (car xinitrc > 2.4.19-9 est non satisfait)
+  xinitrc-2.4.21-4.mga2.noarch
+   (car x11-server-common >= 1.4.2 est non satisfait,
+    en raison du manque de x11-server-xorg)
+Supprimer 5 paquetages ? (o/N)
+
+So I could remove them, but why are they coming first ?
+
+# urpmi_rpm-find-leaves
+acpi
+acpid
+basesystem
+dhcp-client
+gpg-pubkey
+kernel-desktop-latest === Not in my list
+kernel-server-latest

+openssh-server
+pm-utils
+postfix
+shorewall
+squidguard
+sudo
+tmpwatch
+xdm                  === Not in my list
+
+What is triggering the fact they are installed ?
+
+Surprisingly also I get these which are simply unnecessary on my
+firewall:
+
+alsa-utils-1.0.25-4.mga2
+aumix-text-2.9.1-1.mga2
+desktop-common-data-2-10.mga2
+desktop-file-utils-0.20-1.1.mga2
+fontconfig-2.8.0-6.mga2
+hicolor-icon-theme-0.12-3.mga1      
+lib64alsa2-1.0.25-3.mga2
+lib64x11_6-1.4.99.1-4.mga2 (and a lot of libx stuff)
+libalsa-data-1.0.25-3.mga2
+mageia-theme-common-1.5.0.28-4.mga2
+mageia-theme-Default-1.5.0.28-4.mga2
+mkfontdir-1.0.7-1.mga2
+mkfontscale-1.1.0-1.mga2
+rmt-0.4b42-2.mga1
+sound-scripts-0.62-7.mga2
+tcb-1.1-1.mga2
+thai-data-0.1.14-1.mga1
+x11-data-bitmaps-1.1.1-1.mga1 (and a lot of w11 stuff)
+xdg-user-dirs-0.14-1.mga2
+xdg-utils-1.1.0-0.rc1.2.mga2
+xdm-1.1.11-5.mga2
+xdpyinfo-1.3.0-1.mga2
+xinitrc-2.4.21-4.mga2
+xkbcomp-1.2.3-1.mga2
+xli-20061110-7.mga2
+xmodmap-1.0.5-1.mga1
+xprop-1.2.1-1.mga2
+xrdb-1.0.9-2.mga1
+xset-1.2.2-1.mga2
+xsetroot-1.1.0-1.mga1
+
+Trying to urpme each of them gives:
+
+# urpme mageia-theme-common-1.5.0.28-4.mga2
+La désinstallation du paquetage suivant rendra votre système instable
+  basesystem-2-6.mga2.x86_64
+   (en raison du manque de kernel)
+
+Or
+# urpme libalsa-data
+La désinstallation du paquetage suivant rendra votre système instable
+  basesystem-minimal-2-6.mga2.x86_64
+   (en raison du manque de initscripts,
+    en raison du manque de cronie,
+    en raison du manque de rpm,
+    en raison du manque de util-linux,
+    en raison du manque de mount,
+    en raison du manque de losetup,
+    en raison du manque de shadow-utils,
+    en raison du manque de setup,
+    en raison du manque de stat,
+    en raison du manque de coreutils,
+    en raison du manque de passwd,
+    en raison du manque de gzip,
+    en raison du manque de less)
+
+depending on the package.
+
+For me the best is:
+# urpme thai-data-0.1.14-1.mga1
+La désinstallation du paquetage suivant rendra votre système instable
+  basesystem-2-6.mga2.x86_64
+   (en raison du manque de kernel)
+# rpm -qi thai-data-0.1.14-1.mga1 | grep Summary
+Summary     : Thai language support data
+# rpm -qi lib64thai0| grep Summary
+Summary     : Thai language support routines
+
+Isn't this one very puzzling no ?
+
+Any idea on how to progress from here is welcome.
+Any hidden auto_inst.pl option that would help avoid X11 ?
+Bruno.
