HOWTO update F17 machine with no internet access

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Hi guys,

I have tried, and used it several times. You have to install
gnome-packagekit-extra - and you receive an small util that able to
collect dependencies for an computer. The key is - that both computer
must have this tiny util, to generate lists, and the diff will be the
update in one single rpm. The problem lies within the details, because
most of our rpm's are not containing always every dependency for some
reason. But - sometimes - if this function evolves to BTRFS,
alltogether with smolt, drivers profiling that will be awesome.

But readme to this function is here:
