It doesn't change. There is an organization with a link on
the Fedora site that does do updated DVDs. Fedora-remix?
And yes, the changes are huge even after a month or so. But
it all works. In that situation, you would select a
minimal install from the DVD, then use another method to add
all the packages you want to save the time of installing the
obsolete packages first.
eg rpm -qa > package-list.txt
Edit this to make it a shell script with yum and run it.
eg yum -y update package name on each line.
Not sophisticated but works.
