works nicely It looks good, but it won't remove beagle because kerry needs it.
But in general I agree with your elegant approach.

You can safely remove kerry and anything beagle.
and make some noise about it, perhaps it can attract the attention of developers that develop bloated software.
In my mind it is really sad that anything not related to gaming or heavy duty engineering simulations abuses hardware thousands of times harder than it could or should... it used to be that open source software was a lean and mean fighting machine, now the typical linucs install is about 2-3x that of an xp partition, don't know anything about vista. and running the proggies often brings up situations like beagle or a software update, much better than 10.2 but still awful timewise, on dual core or even quad core cpus with oodles of ram!!!!! d.
I believe that some of the developers who are converts from LoseDOS have brought their perverted ways with them :-( such as their belief that even in an environment capable of multi-processing, users really only do one thing at a time. And look at how many people tolerate the 50%+ CPU usage of Norton's system monitor on their Lose-DOS systems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
