<PRE>Philippe DIDIER a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i>   What the F#@&#167; does allow you to speak of stinginess !!!
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva 2010.1 : last security update for openoffice (3.2-4.1) : 110
</I>&gt;<i> Moctets
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Slow dialup connection (36kbits/sec max = in fact 25 kbits/sec):
</I>&gt;<i> 10 hours for downloading it .... and happy when the connection is not
</I>&gt;<i> broken !
</I>&gt;<i> They reach  half the amount of downloading for one month !
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> That's for friends of mine, in France ! (30 km from my ADSL 6MBytes/sec)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> They might use satellite connection but it has a limited bandwith
</I>&gt;<i> allowance and it's a little expensive...
</I>&gt;<i> They cannot use mobile broadband : it's a white zone !
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> They are  retired : they spent 20 years of their life working for free
</I>&gt;<i> for humanitary associations in backward countries,  that's the reason
</I>&gt;<i> why they couldn't spare money for now.  They are really poor, but they
</I>&gt;<i> are far from being stringy ... their past life would  put some shame on
</I>&gt;<i> you saying this !
</I>&gt;<i>   Being in the &quot;first world&quot; doesn't always mean being rich ! open your
</I>&gt;<i> eyes !
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Back to the subject :
</I>&gt;<i> I downloaded the rpms from the repo (few seconds) and kept them in a
</I>&gt;<i> directory after the update !
</I>&gt;<i> Burned some CDs  ! (for those friends, an some in Africa, )
</I>&gt;<i> I know which rpms they installed, and  which to keep when there's an
</I>&gt;<i> update !
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I suppose some users would be interested to use Mageia if they knew
</I>&gt;<i> there's a way to get CD of updates, and to update from those CD or DVD
</I>&gt;<i> instead of using internet connection !
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> GNU-Linux intends to share freely the knowledge, and the way to access
</I>&gt;<i> to it... for everyone!
</I>&gt;<i>    
</I>
Point well taken.
Note that this 110M security update for OpenOffice would probably be 
less than a 2M delta update.
That is, b**y-file update since the last major OpenOffice release - or 
Mandriva release, if using Go-oo available from Mandriva.
So such delta updates would be useful as well.
