Is there someplace I could d/l all the updates to F7 on a cd-rom iso?
I haven't checked on the status of FC7, but prior releases have very
quickly ended up with over a gig of updates, sometimes just a few days
after release, it seems. More than could fit on a CD-ROM.
I am *not* a real Fedora person but this is the way that I see Fedora
working.
Rawhide, the development branch of Fedora, is on going. When the 'time
comes' there is a freeze, several actually, to stabilize things and then a
release.
The development goes on, it never really stops.
*No distro* really releases a completely bug-free, try as they might,
release. During the last freeze and the release many of these bugs are
fixed. That makes for a flood of updates. I think that is a great system.
Now. Something to think about here. A 700Gig iso of all the *current*
updates? And I only have installed, and need a 100M package. Do I d/l the
iso and burn the CD for one package? Or do I - yum update <package>
hmmm... 8-)
That is not the use I have. I want to not have to yum 2,000 updates
to F7 that I load tomorrow. How do I do this?
