Hi Todd,
And thank you for all your assistance.
All the information necessary to assist me with my question
was provided in my initial post and subsequent posts.
Somewhere you got lost or confused. Would you like me
to go over each of your points above and explain what you
missed point by point?
I would like to see that. I don't have my orbuculum handy.
Here is your initial post:

Hi Jeff,
The question is where can I re-find the rpms for Waterfox
and Waterfox Classic. There is no missing information.
By the way, the answer is:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/waterfox-classic-kpe
https://software.opensuse.org/package/waterfox
Perhaps you were expanding the request to something
larger than the question I asked? I am guilty of
that myself at times.
No.
What was wrong with the first post?
Your second post -- a follow up to Patrick O'Callaghan who told you
how to find the repo -- was:
> But I can't seem to get the dnf command correct
> ...
> Now what am I doing wrong?
And Patrick along with Todd Z both answered what I
was doing wrong. It was mainly typos and search.brave.com
AI answer of the DNF5 command that I kept goofing.
The AI was quoting the manual page that I was accused
of not reading.
That's when Todd Z started providing the commands to help you. In this
case, he helped you with the use of '--from-repo', which should have
been 'addrepo --from-repofile=<file>.'
And I thanked him for it.
However, you still had problems, and later said:
> About fifteen typos later
> ...
> But the repo 's install would not work...
So Todd Z gave you all the commands.
and other folk did too.
He also explained possible
problems with the signing keys used to install waterfox, and provided
commands to help with that, too.
The repo gave a warning of
Warning: skipped OpenPGP checks for 1 package
from repository: @commandline
So I removed the repo and downloaded the tar ball
instead. I did state this. That should have ended
things, unless someone was curious about something,
which is fine by me.
Maybe you are getting old and misremembering things?
Jeff
Thanking him for his help and doing something different
annoyed him, so he decided to condescend. He really,
really wanted me to (re)install the repo the gave a
bad rpm of Waterfox.
When people who know what they are doing need more
information, they just ask for it.
When people want to condescend, they go off on a
tirade about not being given enough information and
how annoying they find that.
