You did not miss anything (unless I've forgotten some of what I wrote!)
I forgot: Is nouveau the one that come from rpmfusion or the proprietary
one? I have the one that comes from rpmfusion, and is automatically
re-compiled almost every week after "dnf --refresh upgrade" is done.
Nouveau is the open source reverse-engineered driver for NVidia graphics
cards.
I searched for a USB-2 stick which I could afford to fully overwrite.
Difficult, but I found one. Using Fedora MediaWriter, I put the default
F31 on it. Shut down, then booted off it. (The bios was not in one of
them moods.) I could not reproduce the problems I had earlier, and had
no problems shutting down again. But the problems are not consistently
reproducible. (Murphy still lives) By the way, I didn't write it down,
but the f31 image has a version number above 31.0.0. Samuel: are you
sure the live images are never updated? Wait. I insert the stick. At
the top of the display, I see the stick described as
Fedora-WS-Live-31-1-9. Is this an update?
No. It's probably related somehow to how many composes they did before
releasing the final version.
On to the netinstall.
Ed and Samuel pointed me to "https://alt.fedoraproject.org";.
Ed: Were you referring to the part of the page titled "Network
Installers"? I see the note there, but no clue on what to do other than
downloading a 600MB ISO file.
Samuel: Were you referring to the part of the page titled "Everything"
and tagged "Experts only!"? I see no clue on what to do other than
downloading a 601MB ISO file.
Download that file and use mediawriter to write it to the USB drive.
Before doing a full upgrade (not weekly patches), I get, print, read and
study, and even mark up the instructions for that upgrade. I'm an
amateur. I find it important to seriously prepare.
I read a pages of Fedora documentation today looking for how to do a
netinstall, or how to make/get a rescue boot. Found nothing. Not even
links, urls, or references. Before trying a netinstall to put a rescue
boot on my hard drive and in my grub menu, I'd sure like to see detailed
instructions on how to do it. I'm an amateur. I want to be properly
prepared, and know what I'm doing and what is happening and what is not
happening. Can someone please point me to good instructions on how to
make an f30 or f31 rescue boot on my hard drive using netinstall?
I put "fedora rescue mode" into Google and got a bunch of applicable
links, the second one being a Fedora page.
You don't make a rescue boot on your hard drive, that would kind of
defeat the purpose. You use the USB drive to boot to rescue mode.
