Many thanks to all who replied! Even the OT comments interested me. (I have a BA in pure math.) By way of comparison, my dissertation (1970) was typed on an electric typewriter, and cut & pasted with scissors and rubber cement; I never touched a computer till the early Eighties. For the record, I never called texlive a word-processor; what I did say was that it contained one. (That much was obvious just from skimming the list of routines that got updated by dnf.) When dnf listed all the things it would delete, I typed the ones I thought I might want into a second root prompt after "dnf install", and ran it after the deletion finished. That'd've put back a baker's dozen items from texlive, plus a couple for qgis, plus a couple of python plotters -- stuff I might like, but would probably seldom if ever get around to using. <shrug> Again, many thanks to all! -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
