And just what the heck are "delta iso's"? Don't even have a clue what your talking about!
Perhaps the term "difference ISO" would be more suggestive? They're a file that tells the program "applydeltaiso" how to modify an existing ISO file to produce a new one. Hence, "delta", a commonly used mathematical term for "change."
They're useful when the changes are small by comparison to either version of the ISO file itself.
On the other hand, it often takes hours for applydeltaiso to complete!

Oh. OK. I sort of understand. When I use Yast to update or install something it says "applying delta" during the install a lot of the time. Kind of like that. - - (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
