Dependency aware package removal.

[Awais Riaz <synked yahoo com>]

Hi all,

I'm new to RHEL4 and have a question that has been
bothering me.

Is there a proper 'Redhat way' of removing packages in
a dependency aware manner on systems without X (and
hence no system-config-packages)? Coming from a
background using apt and yum, I find it strange that
up2date doesn't provide this functionality. I've been
taking this functionality for granted for years with
other package management systems and am suprised not
to find an out-of-the-box, all-in-one,  fully
functional package management solution in RHEL4. Am I
missing something? 

Also, apart from system-config-packages (which
requires X), is there a dependency aware method of
removing and adding particular package groups?
 
Thanks,

Awais
