Sorry Rob, but I've got quite a chuckle over this thread. If I ready it correctly, you're upset that RH continue to develop a system after they've frozen a release, and that they not only allow you unrestricted access to these improvements but supply a tool to automate that access. This think - if it were available in the first place - how much you would have to PAY for this service from a company using a traditional sales model. You have to bear in mind just what goes into developing, producing and distributing a CD set. Then bear also bear in mind that this process is not actually RH's main income source. I agree that a monthly update CD would be nice, and probably would not be diffecult to create as a single ISO. This is something I would personally like to see. However, you have already stated that this is of no use to you as you cannot burn CD's (there are other ways round this such as mounting the ISO on a loopback device and making it network accessible). Also, you would still have to download the ISO, which would actually be larger than the individual RPM's, and would also concentrate the downloads to larger filesizes on more specific dates. I appreciate your situation, but please compare what you have from RH (or Suse etc) with other user models etc. I'm sure you'll agree you're actually pretty well off. > > Rob > Thanks for your Idea re: KRUD I have signed onto the site > > Bob > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
