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??

Worked for 23 versions in various incarnations of update programs but past is no prologue. YMMV
