Which image shall I download
Re: Which image shall I download
I don't think there's a specific Stream EPEL, it's just EPEL.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Which image shall I download
You need to enable the powertools repo.

Re: Which image shall I download
Hi TrevorH,
Thanks for your advice.
I found below document;
Enable PowerTools Repository on CentOS 8 / RHEL 8
https://computingforgeeks.com/enable-po ... hel-linux/
Is it relevant to my case to follow?
Whether I need to run again;
# yum install epel-release
# dnf install --skip-broken inxi
Do I need to uninstall them first? If YES, please advise HOW?
Thanks and Regards

Re: Which image shall I download
First. don't bother with --skip-broken. I have no idea why dnf/yum spits out an error suggesting that as it's utterly useless and does nothing useful.
No, you don't need to reinstall epel-release, that just adds the repo and you've already done it. The problem is that the powertools comes out of the box as disabled and there are many things that require packages from it so it should be enabled. You can enable it with dnf-config-manager or just by editing the file in /etc/yum.repos.d and changing the line 'enabled=0' to 1.

Hello TrevorH,
Performed following steps;

Still the same.

Re: Which image shall I download
You have to install the inxi package.
First, 'yum' is now an alias for 'dnf'; they are one and same program.
Configuration in your system tells dnf what repositories it should seek from.
A repository can be configured, but disabled so that we can use it but not by default.
The dnf whatprovides feature seeks from enabled repositories.
It does not install feature but just tells which packages have it (if any).
You can see the configured and enabled repositories with: dnf repolist
You can see all configured repositories with: dnf repolist all
When you install epel-release package, you add configuration of EPEL repositories.
If you uninstall the package, then you can't use those repositories.
When you enable a repository, then you can install packages from it.
If you run dnf install packagename again, then it simply notes that packagename is already installed.
You can enable/disable the "powertools" repository with:
It is possible to edit the file too, but then you have to find the right file and typos in edit can happen.
You can install packages without the above, ad hoc, by telling dnf to enable repo for duration of the install command.

Re: Which image shall I download
The problem is that when you tried to install inxi, it did not install because you had the powertools repo disabled and it contains a pre-req package that inxi depends on. The install of inxi failed so you need to do it again now that you have powertools enabled.

Re: Which image shall I download
Whether I need to reinstall both of them;
# yum install epel-release
# dnf install --skip-broken inxi
?
Or only;
# dnf install --skip-broken inxi
Do I need removing --skip-broken ?
Because at that time without --skip-broken I couldn't install inxi
Regards

Re: Which image shall I download
You couldn't install inxi because you did not have powertools enabled. now you do it should install (assuming there's nothing else missing).
You don't need to install epel-release again since you did that once and it worked.
If you get errors from yum/dnf (they are the same thing) then you need to read those errors and fix them and rerun it. Errors mean it did not work.
--skip-broken is a waste of time, don't bother with it.
