Hello all-- All good in the Stream for me. :) Because Stream will tend to be more "forward moving" than previous CentOS releases, is it still OK to set up EPEL as a repo? So far, I've only installed terminus fonts from CentOS 8 EPEL, but I'm just wondering about this. Generally, are there any cautions against enabling specific repos to use with Stream? -- ------------------------------------- "Don't let anyone dull your sparkle." MzK
