Thanks assumed there was probable something more to
those in the /proc and /run. But about half are in /usr and
K50netconsole are in all the rc.d directories.
The projectM ones
ls -l /usr/share/projectM/fonts/*.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 33 Feb 22 08:30
/usr/share/projectM/fonts/VeraMono.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/TTF/VeraMono.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 Feb 22 08:30 /usr/share/projectM/fonts/Vera.ttf ->
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Vera.ttf
Not only the two fonts don't exist, but neither does the
TTF directory. Assume at some time the fonts and
directory did exist, but a dnf whatprovides finds no
reference.
Thanks for the quick responses, guess not worth really
working at. Had also noticed that some links in /lib64
have ../../lib64?? Assume that is because original files
were in different directories, but now directors are sym
links to others.
I started on a 1963 IBM 1130 with 4K ram and punched
cards and 5M disk.. So, had to be very clean on what you
had.
