To give away one of my secrets: the Fedora Unity project produces Fedora images that are updated every few months with the latest patches. The images come with control files for jigdo "Jigsaw Download". <http://spins.fedoraunity.org/> <http://atterer.net/jigdo/> The advantages of this download system are that partial downloads can easily be resumed, and ISO images can be updated from previous downloads. Also subset ISO images, such as the CDs can be constructed from the corresponding DVD without any additional download except for control files. The only disadvantage I have found is that downloads are distributed among many repository sites, and a few of the sites are very slow, or non-responsive. But after a while that times out and continues from some other site. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
