All comments are welcome.



/srv is site admin managed.  We as a distribution do not install any
software into there.  Therefor it is rather impossible for us to tell
you whether to back it up or not, because it depends on if you've placed
any data in that path or not.



Thanks. But does anybody know wherefrom /srv/pungi with about 35 MB
comes? /srv/pungi does not belong to any rpm, and I can't remember that
I installed some data there.

Kind regards



Walking a little bit through /srv/pungi, I found files and directories like
"./imgcreate-d761yQ/install_root/var/lib/yum/yumdb/z/902c08a6406178c1a1250b98d6f6d0efea421c2b-zbar-0.10-2.fc13-i686"

zbar is installed in my F13 box!

So /srv/pungi looks for me as place for tempdata of yum. Can this be an
explanation?


No - yum doesn't put its data there by default.

I'd look for:

1. are there any symlinks in /var/cache to that location?
2. grep -r /srv/pungi /etc/*

see what comes up.

Hi Seth, no success with these actions. But could it be, that these files result from the system installation I did by the F13 livecd?

I found some remarks in
