I just did this myself in a test VM. Since we have a very fast unlimited Internet connection at work I didn't care to much as I just left it running in the background, however I can see the point you are making because if I tried to do the same thing at home it would take quite a while.

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.
