Hi Ed, thanks for details. Ok so i'll have hours downloading and then installing this errata fixes. You should propose your idea, it's sure for guys who got poor connection and they've just install their new system, it must be a real bad first contact to linux. So download time operation. Thanks again.

All the Red Hat errata say that. Sometimes they mean it and sometimes they don't. What you have to realize is that almost all of errata fix security or major bugs, so you really should apply them and keep yourself up to date. Rarely do errata offer new features or upgrades to specific packages - that's why, for example, Red Hat patched php3 for Red Hat Linux 6.2 rather than go straight to php4. You get much better compatibility this way. So, the bottom line is that you try to patch just netfilter and see if you get any dependency failures, and if not, you're done. If you do get a dependency failure, then apply the dependencies as Red Hat suggested. You should, however, at your earliest convenience, apply all the errata. This is no different than any other major computer OS vendor. What Red Hat really needs to produce is 7.2-1 which has all the errata in it up to a certain date and let people download the iso and do upgrades that way.
