Just a heads up: I've created deltarpms for the fc6->f7 update process.
I'm not sure what bandwidth you have, but using deltarpms will probably
cut the bandwidth by a huge amount.
The deltarpms are for an updated FC6 box that you want to yum upgrade to
Fedora 7. You will need to install yum-presto and then, in your fedora
7 .repo file, add
"deltaurl=http://www.lesbg.com/jdieter/dist_upgrade/fc6-f7/i386";. Then,
just do yum update.
You mean to put the above address in Fedora *6* repo?
Right.
