<p>hmmm. quite some time ago, I read the FAQ for DNF and it said it
stood for nothing, random letters. How dare they change the
answers to a FAQ! Hurumph!</p>

finished installing Libre Office and am left with two
questions:<br>
<br>
1. Why did Fedora/Red Hat decide to change yum to dnf? I
am used to seeing<br>
"dnf" in the agate results of a car race, where it means
"Did Not Finish."<br>
<br>
2. After installing or updating a package I always run yum
(now dnf) clean<br>
all. On this new Fedora 24 install the routine always
returns "52 files<br>
removed." It seems really odd to me that regardless of how
much or how little<br>
has been downloaded and installed, <clean all> always
removes the same number<br>
of files. Any clues on what might actually be going on here?<br>
