Nice!! Just tried your suggestion. Very handy. I am trying to keep documentation on all of my systems and compare installed packages. Thanks!

Ask away: http://ask.fedoraproject.org Hey Linda, You're right, the kind of functionality you are asking about would improve your use case greatly. The kind of tips and tricks seen in your responses aren't a 'modification evolution,' but based on methods built into Linux and all unix-like systems. Shell scripts can save a lot of time and effort, with pipes and redirects playing an integral role. I'll cite two resources that most on this list will recognize, and I'm sure everyone has other favorites in this vein. I encourage you to read through them, cover to cover, and experiment as you go along. You will learn a lot, and become much more confident as a user and system administrator. There are even sections on file/user permissions and basic system security I think you'll find especially interesting. http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/ Hope this helps, Pete -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Can't copy lists in Yumex...
Sure would be nice if I could bring up installed in Yumex, and copy the list.. then paste that list into Yumex install for when I'm rebuilding a freshly formatted hd, to eliminate the lengthy search in Yumex in locating my many preferred packages..
