Will there be any way to tell which packages are included in the 2 megs of updates? i.e., will there be (or is there) a directory for "changed since last CD image" with links to what we need to get? I guess dselect can automatically figure out whether the version numbers have changed, but a directory would be faster and easier I think. Maybe even a tar with all the changed packages. "Deity" could be made aware of the directory and save downloading and comparing version numbers.
