Yum will do that, if the package is available, but rpm doesn't. Well, I used "yum" to install firewall-config. Therefore, I can reasonably expect that if firewall-config needs something installed, it should get pulled in as a direct or an indirect dependency. But I have already established – and posted to the bug I earlier referenced – the fact that, apparently, nothing apparently stops me from doing this: # rpm -e --test xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.5-14.fc21.noarch xorg-x11- fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.5-14.fc21.noarch xorg-x11-fonts- misc-7.5-14.fc21.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.5-14.fc21.noarch This succeeds, with the firewall-config installed. But if I do that, and run firewall-config, it comes up just fine, but instead of seeing something written in king's English, I get ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, all over firewall-config's window. But it does warm my heart, a little bit, to know that at least something in Fedora managed to figure out this complicated concept: # rpm -e --test lyx-fonts error: Failed dependencies: font(:lang=en) is needed by (installed) fontconfig-2.11.1-5.fc21.x86_64 So, that's how it's supposed to work. Now, in addition to some fonts, it would be real nice to know what else firewall-config actually depends on, but the dependency fails to be specified in the package's dependency chain, and, as a result, half of its widgets are completely garbled and they do not respond to pointer and keyboard events. pgp5pI1tf38_U.pgp Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

If you'd used -t msdos that would have worked too, but only if you're familiar with the difference in would you know to prefer vfat. And for that matter -t umsdos also would have worked.

Thank you very much .
But, how I can know -in general- things like this ..?
Can you give me a link to a such documentation?
It is on your system. Run the command:
man 8 mount
and see the types available for "-t" option.
The "general" part of this advice is that: you're using the "mount" command, so
read the "mount" manual entry!
("mount" is an administrative command, so it is in section 8, not section 1.)

Getting onto HP2207
I have an old Dell PowerEdge SC1420, which ceased to be a server or to have any form of RAID when I inherited it. Over the years, I've run many releases of Fedora on it, one or two of CentOS, and I disremember what all else on it. Some OSs figure out my HP w2207h monitor on contact, even from behind the KVM switch where I normally keep it; the last few Fedora releases have been good about that, iirc. Some OSs don't while behind the switch, but do if I shut everything down and connect the Dell directly and alone to the peripherals. Some OSs never get it; I have had to tinker endlessly with xorg.conf a/o grub.conf. But now F21 doesn't get it, and I can't seem to find a file that will let me tell it there is such a thing as a 27" 1680x1050 terminal. (The only plausible candidates so far open with DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, and a reference to the other files that set them; but I'm drawing a blank about any way to reset the setting files.)

I like it, but I don't quite see why it needs to bring in the dependency on xterm.

[OT] Compiling a module for the Fedora kernel
I am having a permanent fan problem with my obviously esoteric graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 630, see [1], [2]) for which I found a viable, but tediuos workaround: - get the kernel src.rpm - apply a specific patch to the nouveau driver - build and install new kernel rpms (see [3]). I still have to do this on Fedora 21 with the actual kernel version 3.17.6-300, and I fear it will last a while until this problem might be addressed (if ever). Now doing this the way described in [3] always means copying and moving GBs of code (not to mention the build time), although just a few lines of code are affected. So I thought about rebuilding only the nouveau module instead of compiling the complete kernel source each time the Fedora kernel gets an update. Of course, there are lots of instructions available on building kernel modules, but I found none that refers to a Redhat/Fedora kernel source (there is a section 'Building Only Kernel Modules' in the wiki [3], but this is sort of inapprehensible for me and seems to be outdated). So any hint would be greatly appreciated.
