Deltaiso for Fedora-9-x86_64-DVD.iso -> Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso

This deltaiso file allows one to generate the Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso image if one already has the Fedora-9-x86_64-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-x86_64-DVD.iso Fedora-9_10-x86_64-DVD.diso Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso

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

applydeltaiso /dev/dvd Fedora-9_10-x86_64-DVD.diso Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso

Before downloading the deltaiso, make sure to have the correct, verified, input image. The SHA1 for Fedora-9-x86_64-DVD.iso is

f92576227484a4eeda0e86a497836c67c34d20ef Fedora-9-x86_64-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 40 minutes. When done, verify the output image. The SHA1 for Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso is

f1e5ae7db6a1ba227de7294c4112385922388648 *Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso

as found in the corresponding signed SHA1SUM file.

Anyone who already has both the Fedora 9 and 10 x86_64 DVD images can generate this deltaiso file with the command

makedeltaiso Fedora-9-x86_64-DVD.iso Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso Fedora-9_10-x86_64-DVD.diso

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