Thanks for the reply. Rsync everything ? *Everything* ? Would that work ? I was thinking of doing a minimal install and then obtaining the list of packages from my old workstation and running dnf with that list. Then copying all the user data over from /home. I'd still lose some settings thou

I want to keep my old computer fully functional as a backup. Thus I'd like to leave the existing drive in it. It would be super easy to clone my existing drive with dd if it wasn't for the Windows install. Do a minimal install, dd the Linux stuff and then somehow fix the boot entries ? On Mon,

Thanks for the hint Ed! So it seems it's enough to: dnf module disable scala # disable the scala module dnf install scala And scala-2.10.6-16.fc31.noarch is installed! So disabling the the scala module will allow you to install scala! On Mon, 6 Jan 2020 at 17:30, Ed Greshko wrote:
