However, KPackageKit has this nice search feature: 1. Open up KPackageKit (which is what most people do to update software) 2. Under Get and Remove Software, select search by description 3. Type in PDF and wait 4. Click on a program name and read the description 5. Install, uninstall, etc. as is your choice If you have a green check mark next to the program name, then it's already installed. >From the command line, it's a bit more cumbersome although it feels a bit faster. 1. As root (or su -c) do a yum search pdf 2. Scroll through the results and find one you like - envice, document viewer seems to be a good choice. 3. yum info evince gives all the information 4. Install, uninstall, etc. as is your choice Both seem pretty reasonable to me. Since I'm a command line type of person, I prefer the second option coupled with writing to a text file and vim, or piping through grep. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
