Well, try things like: package-cleanup --leaves and if it looks OK: package-cleanup -q --leaves | xargs yum -y remove and repeat the 2 commands, since each purging of unused libraries may create further unused libraries. You can try the same with "--orphans" instead of "--leaves". Also, I upgraded my EEE 901 with a (bigger) third-party solid-state drive. It runs much faster now, as a bonus. - Mike -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
