Hi all (today is my day for getting several ideas off my chest!!!!)
Having used "shhhh, you know what" for many years, with its "add/remove
programs" which tells when I last used a program; and its subset
"add/remove windoze elements", I'm wondering how I can do the same in FC9.
Recently, one of the threads here showed the yum --installed & yum
extras, which I tried. a) I couldn't see any sort of "last used"
indicator (or even better a "never used" indicator) b) the things I
hand-install, like the driver for my (still not working) Creative Webcam
or my Reiner cyberjack aren't (don't appear to be) listed.
Since I want to migrate toward FC10, I'd like to find me a list of the
things which I use, so as to have a more targeted installation, without
all the bells, whistles, pots & pans that "someone" has decided I ought
to have (and not to forget one of those essential "it only works
if....." thingies). It'd also be "very nice" if it were possible to
"reverse engineer" the installations I've made so as to produce my own
installation script. And... how can I tell if a package is "mission
critical" to the life of Fedora??
On a lighter note, on the names of users, following on from "Mad
Hatters", would the "Rant" specialists become "Red Queen" ("Off with her
head"), and all the quiet users be "Dormouse" & get pushed back into the
Teapot?????? :-))
Thanks for any thoughts
