<li value="8">Based on the result, do you think that cups is a useful package for your system? If not, try removing it. <li>Unused and unneeded software can present a security risk and ties up disk space needlessly. Find at least 4 other packages that you're not using on your system, and remove them. Be careful to ensure that removing those packages does not also remove other software that you do need.</li>
