Something that has helped me trim down usage is:
rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{SIZE} %{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n" | \
sort -n
This will give you list of all packages ordered by space
used. Obviously most of the big ones have to stay :-(, but
you may be able some that will make a difference when erased.
