Well, I think the main target for these images may be people who use linux but don't manage the system. Not much different from the way some folks download the tar file of firefox and run it from their own area. In the case of the OP's question, there doesn't seem to be an rpm available for Fedora. So, unless one can be found this would be an alternative. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
