I suppose I may still be jumping the gun. (I'll tell, I'll tell, but -- *after* my excuses.) I couldn't get it to boot. I couldn't get it to 'upgrade' to F9, GUI-ly nor in text mode; and when rescue got me to chroot, I couldn't get it to run yum. So I'm in process of slamming it with the big, big hammer -- carefully. Id est, another perishing fresh install, with differences. First of all, this time I went through Customize Now, cutting everything I could find and dared. Second, knowing now how big and how superfluous some of my data files were, I won't copy those to the EeePC. Third, before I copy any of them, I'll run yum update and then gnome-packagekit *twice* -- looking for more stuff to cut. Fourth, I'll keep interrupting the packagekit with logging out and in, and even reboots. That way, if I inadvertently uninstall something essential, I have a better chance of knowing what it was, and finding out how to get it back. Keep your fingers crossed -- and stay tuned. It's starting the new install now .... -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 7, 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Opera 9, Firefox 2 & 3 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
