If so, then deltarpm and presto are preconfigured on your system! You don't need to follow the steps below, just do a "yum update" and Yum will use any DRPMs available automatically.

I've just installed F11 i386 final from the DVD, I see that yum-presto plugin is not installed by default, I suppose I need to install it to get delta rpms right?
Also do I need to do the repo changes detailed in the first post or fedora official repos have built-in delta support now?

Fedora 11 is presto-enabled! To use yum-presto under Fedora 11, run "yum install yum-presto", and it will work out of the box.

Thread unstuck as presto is default in fedora.
