Is it possible to update linux isos?

[Guest]

In an effort to avoid having to torrent some old linux isos I have all over again, can I just download the parts that changes were made to or something?

Why would you update the iso 

just install updates are you install the os.

Why don't you just download the latest distro and burn it to the disc? 

 

I have no clue if there exists a way to update the files that were changed.

Because I want to donate some linux usbs to the library and the point is that people can borrow them instead of having to download a bunch of crap

you can't always expect to keep multiple distros update date on physical media. 

 

Would be a lot easier if said people just diy.

 

or donate a booklet with instructions probably easier.

Yeah I suppose I could just label them with links to read before using.

They probably can do with out the LATEST version of the distro. If they get asked to update, they can say yes or no, no big deal .

I would just let update during install. Plus I'm pretty sure they actually do update the Isos from time to time

Why not just stick with the most recent stable or LTS build?

You probably could using rsync. Just write a script that upon connection to the library's computers or whatever, syncs the drive with whatever distros server that drive is using.

It might be more effort then its worth though. You should update the distro after installing anyways.
