For example, if I had package-1.0 from the install DVD, then did a normail yum update to package-1.1 will the deltas work when going from 1.1 to 1.2? Or do they only work from the base install versions?

Reminded me a bit of Yast and why I left openSUSE. Anyway, at the request of some helpful people at the forums, I removed the default GUI package manager and installed yumex, and what do you know, it makes a world of difference. Now I'm learning to work from the command line with yum, which isn't much different from apt, pacman, or pkg_install. Binary diffs are a godsend. Like I said, I've never much cared for RPM based distros, not since the Redhat 5.2 days, but Fedora 11 is starting to grow on me.

However, the usb mouse and keyboard did not work. Maybe I should try the actual install DVD.
