	interesting. Ah! fingerprint scanning!

	To print the fingerprints.

	Just to make sure that you read in the fingerprint at first boot

	HAL is out to get you! It will kill you by jumping the printer at you!
Don't you dare remove those memory modules...

	just in case HAL don't get you.

	In case rhn dont get you, they send a snake at you...

	you know, those fingerprint need to be date stamped?
>   Remove: system-config-display.noarch 0:1.0.23-1
	Sure. Display the fingerprints!
>   Remove: system-config-keyboard.noarch 0:1.2.5-1
	For typomatic rate recognition. Besides you can make the keyboard bite
unwanted visitors
>   Remove: system-config-language.noarch 0:1.1.8-1
	Or just display them some language they don't understand. Will probably
make it a bit more secure.
>   Remove: system-config-mouse.noarch 0:1.2.9-1
	Since you can't configure the touchpad from there.
>   Remove: system-config-network.noarch 0:1.3.22-1
	Shure! Got to send the fingerprints to another place!
>   Remove: system-config-network-tui.noarch 0:1.3.22-1
	Have to be able to do it in text mode as well!
>   Remove: system-config-packages.noarch 0:1.2.20-1
	Or by snail mail. Just package it up.
>   Remove: system-config-printer.i386 0:0.6.116-1
	But to package it up you need the printer!
>   Remove: system-config-printer-gui.i386 0:0.6.116-1
	Even in full life, color, and with stero!
>   Remove: system-config-rootpassword.noarch 0:1.1.6-1
	You surely CAN use to protect any bad folks from stealing your root...
>   Remove: system-config-securitylevel.i386 0:1.4.14-1
	Security! What is this all about!
>   Remove: system-config-services.noarch 0:0.8.15-1
	Have to turn it on somewhere.
>   Remove: system-config-soundcard.noarch 0:1.2.10-1
	And there is the stereo of the printconf-gui thing!
>   Remove: up2date.i386 0:4.3.47-5
	So you can download new updated fingerprints of who not to let into
your compuer...
>   Remove: up2date-gnome.i386 0:4.3.47-5
	And have a little gnome to bite their toes...
