Deltaiso for Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso -> Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso

*********************************************************************************
WARNING: In Fedora 11, all i386 packages were rebuilt as i586, causing this particular deltaiso to be 81.7% of the size of the full Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso, instead of the usual 50% or so, which may not be enough compression to be worthwhile for most people. (Unlike i386, ppc wasn't affected at all by the rebuild, and x86_64 only slightly.) I've posted this torrent anyway in order to have a complete set.

This deltaiso file allows one to generate the Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso image if one already has the Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso image (either as an ISO file, or on DVD). This requires the applydeltaiso command, contained in the deltarpm package (available in the Fedora repos). Using the ISO file, one runs

applydeltaiso Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso Fedora-10_11-i386-DVD.diso Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso

If one has the DVD, just mount it and then run

applydeltaiso /dev/dvd Fedora-10_11-i386-DVD.diso Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso

Before downloading the deltaiso, make sure to have the correct, verified, input image. The SHA1 for Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso is

086fd570518ac58d3966c43c1b6d146e38919d8d *Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso

as found in the readily available signed SHA1SUM file. If it's on DVD, one can simply do a mediacheck. After running applydeltaiso, verify the output image. The SHA256 for Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso is

6e812e782e52b536c0307bb26b3c244e1c42b644235f5a4b242786b1ef375358 *Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso

as found in the signed Fedora-11-i386-CHECKSUM file (use sha256sum to compute).

Anyone who already has both the Fedora 10 and 11 i386 DVD images can generate this deltaiso file with the command

makedeltaiso Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso Fedora-10_11-i386-DVD.diso

which for this particular file takes approximately twice as long as applydeltaiso. This makes it possible to start seeding this torrent without downloading it first.
