From usage view, it is quite simple: applydeltaiso old.iso delta.iso new.iso There's a README in /usr/share/doc/packages/deltarpm that explains some details and some man pages Note that there are some more programs around deltarpm/deltaiso: # rpm -ql deltarpm |grep bin/ /usr/bin/applydeltaiso /usr/bin/applydeltarpm /usr/bin/combinedeltarpm /usr/bin/drpmsync /usr/bin/makedeltaiso /usr/bin/makedeltarpm Regards, Christian Boltz [1] Upgrade installation doesn't work in beta4, but that's another story ;-) -- "Hast du schon gehoert: Ein Bug im Netscape Navigator erlaubt es jedem, übers Internet deine Festplatte zu lesen." - "Weiss ich, deshalb bleibe ich ja auch bei Netscape - wenn's ein Microsoft-Bug waere, dann dürfte jeder meine Festplatte auch noch beschreiben..." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
