Please, this is ridiculous. Of course it's possible. You make a

i) will a few patches be small/easy to install ii) should i generate a

best solution for you. ... and yes, there are many more decisions.. such as
cross-package decisions etc... but this is an absolute must for the next
gen linux distros.
What's Redhat doing? What's Novell doing?
Novell has patchrpms and deltarpms.
Cheers,
