Not sure if I understand it correctly, but anyway... The kernel is not being updated, but rather installed concurrently with other kernels. So you cannot create a delta rpm for it, since there is a completely new rpm coming with each kernel. If kernel was supposed to be *updated* then maybe you could create a delta, but if you want to *install* it (from scratch, as is done in Fedora), then delta will not help. And if you want to have multiple kernels available simultaneously (in contrast to SuSE), you need to *install* each of them, not update from one to another. As for the presto and delta rpms, it typically saves 60-90% of my bandwidth with each update, and works flawlessly. Developers did a fantastic job! :-) Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
