Once upon a time Red Hat was producing an update CD about every quarter. Not sure if they still do but that would certainly be an option.

I have recently read in the list other people mentioning that the latest updates of XFree86 by Red Hat are very large in volume, because they have been compiled with debugging information in them. This makes it really difficult and time-consuming (not to say, expensive also) for us, poor guys with modem connections, to download and install these updates. So, I would like to ask whether there is any possibility that Red Hat recompiles these updates and replaces the fat files with thinner ones any time soon.
