Heh, people trust the installer script?!
I unpack the .Z files to a directory tree, copy over the few bits that are not compressed (diskdoc, dacontrol, trackfile.device) and then run a oneliner that prints out md5sum of both installed and new files, and removes from update tree those that just duplicates of existing installed files (then another that compares version strings… just for heck of it). By doing it like this I get a better picture of what components really have changed since last update.
