Thanks, but I generally find there are about a thousand packages that are on my systems above the standard install. The only package that wasn't found in the process last time I did it was mstt font rpm, but all other ones were found as be still included. I have done both clean installs on machine, and fedup process. The clean install results in lot of missing packages, whereas the fedup results in new packages not being included. Thanks again. > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
