Most of the packages which you suggested were removed and the results are in
www.wx4s.net/pkglist3
www.wx4s.net/output3

df shows 166MB now (down from the original 278MB).

Notes:
bzip2-libs, removal caused rpm to quit working.
pcre, removal caused grep to fail in many places during system startup and
shutdown.
make, removal required --noscripts due to preun script errors.
groff, removal required --noscripts due to preun script errors.
libgcc, removal succeeded after groff removal.
libstdc++, removal succeeded after groff removal. 
vim-common, removal required --nodeps (as you said)

I performed a new installation before these last changes, so I renewed the
pkglist1 and pkglist2 files on the website above. While I was attempting to
reinstall pcre, the system hung (6 hours) while mounting the iso. I believe
this problem was caused by a power loss some weeks ago and resulting file
system errors which e2fsck may not have corrected properly.

Any other suggestions to remove unnecessary items?

Regards,
Ed
