To answer your original questions about deltarpms, yes I am still updating the presto test repositories. To give you an idea of the savings, the deltarpm from openoffice.org-core-2.4.0 to 2.4.1 is 7MB. You just need to follow the directions on the presto site to set it up correctly. And ignore the reported download size when yum asks for confirmation: that number doesn't count deltarpms. Jonathan
