Sync rpms with other computer

How do I sync rpm packages with another computer? I have a list of the remote's rpms generated with "rpm -qa". I expect to have to modify a couple of packages in the list due to hardware dependent rpms like xorg. Otherwise it should be a simple matter of downloading the rpms from the edited list

Can a second F25 be installed on the same machine?

I tried to do an identical second install on the same machine, but the installer Anaconda gives an error about being unable to set a root partition. The only difference compared with the first successful install is that there is a bit less disk free space, and of course another F25 already

Can F25 install Btrfs on top of LVM?

I am trying to install F25 on a legacy box that already has a working Ext4 over LVM over Md raid 1 of 2x2TB disks, and only a single empty non raid partition on the second disk. The plan is to nondestructively upgrade the old OS to F25 by keeping both for a while, giving the user the option to

EFI F25 LVM install does not need separate /boot partition

It seems that on EFI hardware Fedora 25 can be installed without the suggested separate /boot partition. I just selected auto partitioning on a LVM device, then deleted the given new /boot partition. It seems to work ok. Is it safe? If so, why does the Fedora installer propose a separate /boot in
