A question about the two package managers in fedora
by Cisco Tissera
Hello everyone,
For quite random reasons, I was wondering what would happen if I completely
removed yum, and only used dnf.
Is it possible to do that? or would it totally break the system?
Another question: why keep two package managers, and not switch to dnf and
just keep dnf?
Sorry if my questions might sound stupid, but I'm quite curious.
Thanks for any answer.
Best regards.
Francisco.

how to scale Gnome to user defined percentage
by Anil F Duggirala
hello,
I am struggling more than enjoying the high-DPI display on my new laptop.
Gnome allows me to scale my display, to 200, 300, 400 %. Is there an
easy way to scale to 250% for example?
Does scaling like this in Gnome affect peformance of displaying?
thank you,

OT: diagnosing download problem
by Geoffrey Leach
Configuration: Fedora 32 with Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router talking to
Hughes satellite.
Problem: Connecting (only) to Amazon, (any) page hangs attempting to
download (apparently) an image from images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com.
Download succeeds for a dozen or so jpegs, then it hangs. Problem
appears to be independent of browser (chrome, firefox) and OS (happens
on (gasp) Windows 7 also).
Traceroute images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com shows the round trip time to
suddenlink.net around 2000 ms.
So why am I bothering the list? It's Amazon's problem, after all.
Question: are there any settings on my end that might be tweaked to get
around the problem? Is there any way to diagnose the problem on my end?
Thanks.

Hello,
I wish to remove lines which appear twice in a file, actually

How can I do so?

FC34 broke my bind
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Just upgraded from FC33 to FC34.
FC34 broke my bind. Here are "some" of the repeating errors:
# named-checkzone -t /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves xyz xyz.hosts
xyz.hosts:3: ignoring out-of-zone data (xyz.local)
xyz.hosts:15: ignoring out-of-zone data (DeadStick.xyz.local)

Please note this all worked perfectly under FC33
Many thanks,
