Efficient script to get the delta ISOs and applydelta
The fastest way to have the new betas. Get the delta.isos and applydelta immediately after, in the background, while the next delta is downloading. Pay attention to wrapping: wget and applydeltaiso are each one liners. for ((i=1;i<=5;i++)); do wget -c ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1-beta6/delta-iso/SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta5_beta6-i386-CD$i.delta.iso applydeltaiso SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta5-i386-CD$i.iso SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta5_beta6-i386-CD$i.delta.iso SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta6-i386-CD$i.iso & done It's a simple idea, but it optimizes the process. I thought some of you might be interested.

Next use http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD to install it. Don't forget that makeSUSEdvd now also can me used to point to RPMs you already have, so you can make a DVD that suits youradditional wishes. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

Hello! I also created a small script for updating my openSuSE iso files with delta-iso files. The script does not download the delta-iso files because I download the delta-iso files externally. But the script applies the delta iso files and deletes the old files (old iso files, old delta-iso files). The script is especially useful if you do not have much temporary space or if you want to re-start an "applydeltaiso" command. The script header contains an example. Greetings, Björn
