Idea #56: Support incremental Updates

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #13: Delta (patch based) updates.
Written by nomis the 28 Feb 08 at 15:53. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
It's difficult to install security updates if you only have a 56K modem. Incremental updates could help. (Especially for programms like firefox)

Sounds like a duplicate of http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/13/

But I could be wrong.

Either a dupe of #13 or the Fedora re-spin idea.

Why the F*CK are people voting down on this?!?
It just took me ONE HOUR to update firefox and xul runner !!!!!

Plus, my ISP and all on the area have a 2GB download restriction per month. UGH!
