Fedora 24

[Dave Pawson]

F24 won't boot.
F23 lasts for about 6 minutes then goes back to an F24 boot terminal and needs
a cold boot.
  This from Windows machine

1. Yumex not installed.
2. dnf cannot find yumex.

Question. With the update, will rpmfusion still be in my list of repos, to
get the nvidia driver? And will it point to the F24 repos? How to check please?

regards
