There are about 110 upgrade rpms (85MB) for 5.1, and half are to fix security
problems. 5.2 has only 4 so far.
So you are going to be better off upgrading to 5.2 from a CD
and downloading 4 updates.
Nevermind the update rpms, 90% of the rpm's in 5.2 are newer
than those in 5.1. Compared to 5.0 it's going to be
98%.
So if you want do download, download the entire 5.2 (500MB).
