Peter, what's been confusing me (amongst other things) is that system->add/remove software does not, for example show LibreOffice. Instead it shows a bunch of plug-ins, fonts etc. So "yum install libreoffice" works, but I cannot see "libreoffice" under installed softtware. Strange. This is more to do with unfamiliarity with Fedora. I'll stick to apt-get, err yum...
