Rpm + applying delta means??
 

Hi i am using suse 10 and i have noticed that every time suse updates a package with a newer version i receive the message applying delta... it seems to be the mechanism that apply the changes to the packages.. But do u know what delta really is and how it works? Thx a lot

it works just like diff. compares the old and new and merges the changes. that way only what has changed needs to be downloaded, not the entire updated package.
