I don't think it's bad to introduce this for network installs only for Fedora 7. If you're doing a cd/dvd install, you already have the old packages, so it doesn't really matter if you download the updates now or a bit later. With a network install, though, without including the updates, you download the packages and then potentially the same packages again. This is not insignificant -- there are currently 944 latest-version-only rpms in FC6 x86_64 updates, totaling 2.4 GB. That's a full two-thirds of the original distribution! And that's not even considering Extras. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
