	Many thanks to all who replied! Even the OT comments interested 
me. (I have a BA in pure math.) By way of comparison, my dissertation 
(1970) was typed on an electric typewriter, and cut & pasted with 
scissors and rubber cement; I never touched a computer till the early 
Eighties.

	For the record, I never called texlive a word-processor; what I 
did say was that it contained one. (That much was obvious just from 
skimming the list of routines that got updated by dnf.) 

	When dnf listed all the things it would delete, I typed the ones 
I thought I might want into a second root prompt after "dnf install", and 
ran it after the deletion finished. That'd've put back a baker's dozen 
items from texlive, plus a couple for qgis, plus a couple of python 
plotters -- stuff I might like, but would probably seldom if ever get 
around to using. <shrug>

	Again, many thanks to all!
