Dear fellow Fedora users,
Deltarpms does help a little bit with many packages, but the kernel is not one of them :(
kernel-devel, kernel-headers, kernel-firmware, etc do work though, how come kernel package is not the same?
/*
Package(s) data still to download: 19 M
*/
Otherwise, real savings and improvement would apply :), wonder how OpenSUSE handles this, one of my machines at school died and it had OpenSUSE and updates seemed fast, but they have only one kernel which I don't like, with Fedora we can keep more kernels :)
