You could try out the Unofficial FC4.1 respin images. Those contain all updates up until 14'th Sept. It would save you a lot of updating, but there have been a few big (many MB) ones since too. http://fedora.isphuset.no Those images are only suitable for a fresh install btw, not upgrade. How to keep it updated later? Dunno, but at this point most of the really bad bugs should be gone, and mostly internet-security fixes are what I'd expect. I don't think you'd miss them unless you actually hit a bug yourself. -HK
