Hi all (today is my day for getting several ideas off my chest!!!!)
Having used "shhhh, you know what" for many years, with its
"add/remove programs" which tells when I last used a program; and its
subset "add/remove windoze elements", I'm wondering how I can do the
same in FC9.
Recently, one of the threads here showed the yum --installed & yum
extras, which I tried. a) I couldn't see any sort of "last used"
indicator (or even better a "never used" indicator) b) the things I
hand-install, like the driver for my (still not working) Creative
Webcam or my Reiner cyberjack aren't (don't appear to be) listed.
Since I want to migrate toward FC10, I'd like to find me a list of the
things which I use, so as to have a more targeted installation,
without all the bells, whistles, pots & pans that "someone" has
decided I ought to have (and not to forget one of those essential "it
only works if....." thingies). It'd also be "very nice" if it were
possible to "reverse engineer" the installations I've made so as to
produce my own installation script. And... how can I tell if a
package is "mission critical" to the life of Fedora??
On a lighter note, on the names of users, following on from "Mad
Hatters", would the "Rant" specialists become "Red Queen" ("Off with
her head"), and all the quiet users be "Dormouse" & get pushed back
into the Teapot?????? :-))
Thanks for any thoughts

Thanks, Tim, Carroll, POC for your hints & comments!!!!! Let's see how
much dark-brown-and-sticky I get into when I try my move to F10 -- last
time, I got so many "don't do it" messages when I went to preupgrade, I
wimped out......
