Now contribs is back up and the dust is settling, probably quite literally,
how easy would it to build a "refresh" or "maintenace release" of the SME
8.0 ISO?
Earlier in the week I took the plunge to upgrade my only (and live) 7.6
server to SME 8.0. Over all it was a fairly painless process but the first
chance yum had at updating the system it installed a new kernel, upgraded
161 packages, installed 7 new ones and downloaded 254 MB to do so. That's
40% of the size of the full ISO! It also took almost as long to process that
lot as doing the upgrade, probably longer if you take out the time taken to
test the CD during installion.
For some one installing SME 8.0 on a fresh system having all those updates
being applied doesn't create a particulary good impression. Yeah, OK do a
fresh install of Windows and it'll pull umpteen million updates down but
that is Windows, not SME 8.0. B-)
