Thank you Dexter, I read the overview it would be nice.
Till now I used a lot of shell scripting to do some recursive
dependency removing. But it would be more easier now, with this little
app. Thanks ;)

to fundamental packages but I think some of those dependencies can be
ignored.

Cause first I need to know what are those essential packages! after
that, as you and other guys said I can use kickstart to picking up
them.
BTW, thanks for your attention And if you have any idea about
t but they are not essential! I mean
the linux kernel can booting up without them.
So, I need the minimum (Read it: Just essential) packages which must
have to bring up a Fedora system.
Sincerely yours,

Thanks, I will take a look at it now, may be it could help me.
But you know, the problem is Official Fedora Release
ah, you are right about that minimal install, but with that option
exactly 180 packages will be installed! but I'm sure that near hundred
of them is not required packages.

2- How can I reach this minimal system? (As I described above those
dependencies make it impossible to remove unwanted packages after
installation and also there is no option to remove unwanted packages
before installation)
