OK, this makes things clear to me - thanks. I have now tryed to install
as described above. The dependencies of the dependencies lead to the
follwing procedure if we consider a Slinky-0.3.9. base (w/o KDE, Gnome
but w/ fluxbox, TinyX):

from RH9 Disk1:
        ImageMagick 
        netpbm
        perl (--nodeps)
        perl-Filter
        netpbm-progs

from RULE-"ISO":
        Xdialog
        screengrabber

Totaly this script requires 56 MB of files, which is quiet a lot. Most
of it (42 MB) is required by perl. 

Question 1: Can this be reduced but still keeping it a consistent and
stable system?

Question 2: Due to dependencies-cirkle I neeeded the nodeps-option for
perl. Am i right or would there have been an other solution?

The script works fine, clear usage, easy to explain - very functional!

Bye, Ingo.
