Thank you Stan,

But how does one do a minimal net install if they have just built a new computer and there are

no other computers available to make a bootable iso image ?  I did not have a way to

make a bootable iso image, unless one can do that on an smartphone.

I was implying that I did it using a Chromebook.    So Chromebooks do have

some functionality, but are just a little confusing at task like that.

I have about two man-hours of usage now in Rawhide on a Ryzen 3.    So far so good.

Of course, Rawhide is not noticeably different from Fedora 33 at this stage.

( Please do not shoot me for using Rawhide.    I have been using it for a year, but

I have a low I.Q. )

My Brother laser-printer was detected and worked out-of-the-box.

My cheap used 4 GB Power Color 5500XT seems to work, but I haven't yet played

any action games.       X570 and NVMe seems to work.     All the peripherals work and

the "hot-sheet motel" that I am living in, has 1 GB ethernet in the rooms.   

I have been playing with all the system-monitor apps, and CPU-X seems to work pretty

good.  

Here is some temperature data:

                       (crit = +89.8°C)

I have sufficient fans, I think, but I plan to add more.

If I see anything pertinent or of interest in the future, I will report it, but I do not yet have the

Linux skills to say much else about it.
