Installing hhcount.sty to generate Tally Marks in LaTeX document in Fedora 20

1. Download the file hhcount.sty and save it (like in your Downloads folder)

2. Navigate to /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/
    #cd /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/
    and create a folder named hhcount
    #mkdir hhcount

3. Now navigate back to your Downloads folder (or wherever you downloaded hhcount.sty) file and
    move/copy the file to the newly created folder.
    #mv hhcount.sty /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/hhcount

4. Run the texhash command
    #texhash

5. Since hhcount.sty is dependent on hhutils0.sty, you need to download it again and like in
    the previous steps, create a folder hhutils0 inside /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ and move
  hhutils0.sty there. Again run texhash command.

6. Now include \usepackage{hhcount} in your tex file and wherever you need to include tally  
    marks, use \fcsore{n}, where n is the frequency number. If you need to put a tally mark against 5,        use \fcscore{5}, if against 7 use \fcscore{7}. Run LaTeX, and you'll get the tally marks in  
     your document as

Icons are mostly packaged in tar.gz or .ZIP file. Let's get a couple of them from http://gnome-look.org/: Square-Beam 1.0 and The Circle 0.2 and install and use them. Click on their respective download links and get the Square-Beam_1_0.tar.gz and TheCircle.zip packages.

Remove Old/Multiple Linux Kernels

After an update, there's always a possibility to see some more kernel entries on your GRUB on booting. A quick listing can be done:

# rpm -q kernel 

(the lastest is at the bottom, which also can be produced typing # uname -r )

We next make use of the package-cleanup tool in yum-utils to limit the number of kernels desired. If yum-utils isn't installed, do

# yum install yum-utils

Next set the number of kernels to the desired count (say, 2)

# package-cleanup --old kernels --count=2

Make the amount of installed kernels permanent
# gedit /etc/yum.conf 

and set installonly_limit = 2
