Even for concurrently installed packages, it could still be possible to make a delta that has all the changes needed since the previously installed kernel. However, there might well be so many changes, that there's no significant benefit. And, for the kernel, that would seem to be the case. Just listing the contents of the last kernel package, it's full of files specific to that particular kernel, I can't see any files that would be common to another kernel. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
