That isn't a particularly helpful comment. Telling people to not update
packages is actually really bad. Think of security issues, etc. The
kernel itself is 16MiB or so, and that can't be a speed download on a
link like that either.
Ralf isn't telling people not to update OOo, he's telling them to not do so
using yum.
Anyway, there really isn't a nice solution to the problem but
blatantly
telling someone "don't do that" is pretty asinine.
Can't people use the Fedora Respin CDs/DVDs to update (after getting them
shipped to them) ?
