Hmmm ... I *think* the PackageKit in F9 (when it get to it) will let me do that with a couple of clicks. I know there's a way to add livna to F8 -- I've done it -- but it's been a while. I *think* I browse to livna.org, download an rpm, install it, and then just use yum as always, with one more file yum.repos.d; I'll check those things, and if it's so, I'm golden -- no reply required. If I'm confused, prithee divulge one more such excellent clue! -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.20, Opera 9.27, Firefox 2.0 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
