nonsense sets the paper size to U.S. Letter by default:
dnf install libpaper
echo Letter > /etc/papersize

Just curious. Every time I run dnf update, I see this at the
beginning:
Running transaction
Running scriptlet: firefox-60.0.1-3.fc28.x86_64 1/1

Then it starts the "real" update:

I don't believe fedora installs any kind of mail daemon by
default any longer, so perhaps you just don't have anything
that can process mail on your system?
I usually install postfix, but the

Cool. I'll have to configure my system with that.
Of course I'll still need my reboot script to umount -l nfs filesystems

Does that get all the "user mode daemon" stuff that runs under the
"/usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user" process?

invokes it. It is apparently a replacement for "authconfig"

systemctl disable gdm.service
systemctl enable kdm.service
If you don't have the one you want installed, you
can do something like:
I gave up on trying to get direct access as a different
user to the display, sometimes it would work, sometimes
it wouldn't work, and I could never track down why.
