It's rather sad to see that GnoRPM, despite all criticisms it received,
hasn't improved even slightly. In fact the latest version is the same as
in 6.1. So please do something Red Hat people, because GnoRPM is a poor
app, in terms of both UI and features.

Apparently people at RedHat solved the space problem by removing all
HOWTOs, FAQs and LDP docs. That saved about 80 megabytes. But are these
