Uhmm!  Yes 2 minutes for a 280Mb update *is* pretty neat!

I need the FC6 install on the desktop machine to maintain some packages 
for a painfully slow and constrained embedded FC6 system that simply 
hasn't the practical capacity or time in the day to perform itself.

I have a customised kernel to suit the rather strange non-standard 
hardware and CPU and I've given up waiting for a compile to complete on 
the embedded device.
I did try and persuade them to let me replace the semi real-time system 
with a proper QNX one, but they wouldn't go for it.

Cheers,
