I am running YDL 3.01 on a Wallstreet G3.  My computer works just fine for
what I need of it, but the one persistent problem is the lack of hard drive
space.  A 2 GB HD is pretty pathetic, I know, but I can't help but think how
much of what's installed is pure clutter.  

Doing a "yum list installed" it comes up with tons of stuff I don't even
recognize, and when I go through the painstaking process of "yum info
[package]" I occasionally find something useless for my needs and erase it.
However this takes forever and most packages are only a few 100 kb anyway.  

Does anyone have any tips/tricks for a better way of removing packages that
they don't have much use for?  Or a way to organize the yum installed list
by size so I don't waste my time with the small stuff?
