So do I have to do it that way on her machine, too, one browser ata time? Or can I, say, sneakermail my file downstairs, add it into hers, and then do a single dnf install command?
Installing some repos would probably involve installing keys, too. I'm not sure if you have to import them first, or if using the repo would fetch them in.
You can local install already downloaded web browser packages using yum and dnf, and if the install requires further files, such as libraries, it should download them. But unless you have very limited internet, it's probably more work to organise than just installing them from the repos over the net.
Rather than sneakernet, if they're on the same network, just ssh over to one from the other, so you can compare what works on one, and cut and paste commands between them.
