followup to last query, since i have never *knowingly* done anything with nodejs, i'm wondering how safe i am to try to wipe every trace of it from my own fedora 27 system, then re-install. first, it *appears* that from a package perspective, no other *packages* appear to depend on nodejs other than the npm management package: $ rpm -q --whatrequires nodejs npm-5.6.0-1.8.9.4.2.fc27.x86_64 $ rpm -q --whatrequires npm no package requires npm $ which suggests i can remove those two. as for what i just installed with "npm", i tried both a local and a global ("-g") install with npm, and the end result appeared to be simply dumping content into a "node_modules/" directory, either in my current directory or under /usr/lib. and there are also new directories in my home directory, .npm/ and .node-gyp. am i safe to just remove all of the above to pretend none of this ever happened? thanks muchly. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
