So I burned a medium for F32 netinstall, and booted from that. As usual, I missed some boneheaded thing, and couldn't get Anaconda to accept any manual partitioning I tried; so I eventually just let it go automatic. It finished all right, and I'm adding apps. Beforehand, last night and this morning, I had copied my whole home directory to a thumb stick. Then this morning I merged it into the home directory of my #1 machine, which I'm using now. And I'm in process of merging it into #3. When that's done, I'll copy it back, knowing it works. Many, many thanks to all hands, and especially to Samuel Sieb, for all the help! -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is. _______________________________________________ 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
