The suggested way is made gcc: -rw-r--r-- 1 jkratoch jkratoch 54082276 Sep 7 2010 fedora/gcc/f14/gcc-4.5.1-20100907.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 jkratoch jkratoch 59121454 Jun 3 14:45 fedora/gcc/f15/gcc-4.6.0-20110603.tar.bz2 and I find it as difficult to manage updates over my 2Mbit ADSL (that is downloading the whole tarball again and again, instead of downloading just smaller differences); plus I was and sometimes I may be developing on GPRS.
