Deltaiso for Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso -> Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso

This deltaiso file allows one to generate the Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso image if one already has the Fedora-9-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-9-i386-DVD.iso Fedora-9_10-i386-DVD.diso Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso

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

applydeltaiso /dev/dvd Fedora-9_10-i386-DVD.diso Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso

Before downloading the deltaiso, make sure to have the correct, verified, input image. The SHA1 for Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso is

50253a35b5ba128c9a57b2a10cbd829813fc5119 Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso

as found in the readily available signed SHA1SUM file. If it's on DVD, one can simply do a mediacheck. Using the deltaiso instead of the full download is trading CPU for bandwidth. On a reasonably fast (2-3 GHz) box with at least 1 GiB of RAM, this will complete in approximately 30 minutes. When done, verify the output image. The SHA1 for Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso is

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

as found in the corresponding signed SHA1SUM file.

Anyone who already has both the Fedora 9 and 10 i386 DVD images can generate this deltaiso file with the command

makedeltaiso Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso Fedora-9_10-i386-DVD.diso

which takes approximately the same time as applydeltaiso. This makes it possible to start seeding this torrent without downloading it first.
