[NTLUG:Discuss] Removing NLS stuff from a installed distribution

Over the past few years, distribtions like Redhat / Fedora have gone 
international. It's good/fine if you don't speak english but if you do, it 
seems like it adds overhead ( space wise at least ) to your system. 

Does anyone know any good ways to clean / purge the language 
files and programs from a system? I'm specifically refering to 
Fedora, but general information would be ok too. 

i.e... can I just 
rm -rf /usr/share/locale 
( probably a bad idea ) 
but something like that to clean up the system. I really don't need
french, kanji, spanish, etc. 

Thanks - jack
