I guess you're right, but compared to the amount of bits an errata takes, anything else certainly is "large" by comparison ;-) Also, I actually like the idea of the errata because I can grasp changes quickly without having to check CVS entries. I just open the patch file, take a quick look at the changes and most of the time I actually can grasp the differences. This doesn't take more than a couple of minutes normally. And since errata are more or less the exception I don't have to patch so often. regards, Tobias W.
