Within the next three weeks or so, barring any great surprises, I
hope to be putting Fedora 27 onto four PCs, a laptop, and a netbook. IIRC,
the netbook, which I haven't used recently, has F24 now; all the others
are running 26. I'll do all I can by upgrading, because every time I do a
fresh install, it costs me something more than a whole day per machine to
do the tweaking I need.

        (I've been running Fedora since it was RedHat7; so my trifocal
fingers and arthritic eyeballs know their jobs IF I get all the tweaks
right -- a great boon and a bringer of cyber-survival, since I also keep
getting slower and more forgetful....)

        A correspondent on another list says one used to be able to use
Mondo Rescue to grab all the settings on an existing install and clone
them onto a new one. That would save me vast tedium.

        But the Mondo Rescue site lists only rpms for Fedora 23 and
before. And either I'm garbling my correspondent's directions, or they
don't work any more -- or both.

         I tried a few variations on "dnf install Mondo-xyzq". I also
downloaded a few .rpms from Mondo's repository and ran "rpm -ivh" against
them. Both tries failed.

        Is there a tutorial somewhere? Has Mondo Rescue forked into
something with another name? Have the Fedora Gurux and Alpha Plus
Technoids come up with a replacement while I wasn't looking??
