</I>
libdrakx-kbd-mouse is required by drakxtools-backend, which is required
for bootloader-utils, pulled by kernel (required to build initrd).
But this one is not too bad.

&gt;&gt;<i> Another question is I could urpme lib64xrandr2 (and erase as a

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Why did they came on my install first ??
</I>
Which packages did this uninstall?

&gt;<i> Suggests?
</I>&gt;<i> There is an option to not use them
</I>
That's more complicated than that.

A big issue to me is the following dep chain:
dracut -&gt; plymouth -&gt; desktop-common-data -&gt; xdg-utils -&gt; xprop -&gt; libx11

You can test some of the issues by just doing this:
mkdir chroot-minimal-cauldron
urpmi --no-suggests --root ./chroot-minimal-cauldron basesystem urpmi
