It is still easier than trying to undo all the havoc I might have created over the last six months. For example; I had thought for most of my life that the word was spelt and pronounced cruff. With this exchange I have learnt it is properly "cruft". I will remove cruff from my memory and use cruft for several occasions to get it firmly installed in my mind and never have to worry about cruff showing up again. Fedora gives you a choice of a full update or a fresh install. Let's keep both. -- Regards Bill
