I think what you are basically saying is that you are currently
running F25 with an
LXDE Desktop and would like to upgrade to F26 and end up with a LXqt
Desktop. If
that is a correct assessment I would do the following....
1. Upgrade from F25 to F26.
2. Install the LXQt desktop by "dnf group install "LXQt Desktop"
3. Remove the LXDE desktop by "dnf group remove "LXDE Desktop"
Looking at the man page for dnf you'd see...
dnf [options] group remove <group-spec>...
Mark the group removed and remove those packages in the
group from
the system which are neither comprising another
installed group
and were not installed explicitly by the user.
You may run into a few minor issues along the way. In that depending
on how you
installed initially your system may not have "LXQt Desktop" marked as
installed.
And, I don't know what display manager is used by each Desktop
Environment so it is
possible you may have to manually adjust that after the removal of
LXDE.
If you have the time and resources you may want to create a Virtual
Machine that
mimics your current system and perform the steps to verify it works
as I think it
should. :-)

Hi Ed,
Where is your certificate located. My evolution doesn't seem to find
it without a VERY long wait.
