I do't have the diskspace to host 700+ MB of RPMS. This is why I don't
like autorpm either. What I need is for something to check against the RPM
*database*, not the actual files on the system. Then, download the updated
package, automatically install, then remove the new package file from the
disk. This way I could stay up-to-date and save disksapce too. I only have
around 2G for disk, which these days is pretty small.
I have an 18G drive just sitting here, waiting to find a site that offers
Cooker CD's for a nominal fee...
