The changes are:

.disc1-i386 (timestamp) -> affects .disc4-i386
TRANS.TBL               -> names in 8:3 format have changed!!!
                        -> and
                        ->      abiword-0.99.5-1.i386.rpm 
                        -> is now
                        ->      abiword-0.99.5-2.i386.rpm

boot.cat

RedHat/RPMS/abiword-0.99.5-2.i386.rpm -> was abiword-0.99.5-1.i386.rpm 
RedHat/base/comps       -> small diffs
RedHat/base/hdlist
RedHat/base/hdlist2
RedHat/base/hdstg1.img
RedHat/base/netstg1.img
RedHat/base/stage2.img

dosutils/autoboot/cdboot.img
dosutils/autoboot/initrd.img

images/boot.img
images/bootnet.img
images/drvblock.img
images/drvnet.img
images/oldcdrom.img
images/pcmcia.img
images/pcmciadd.img
images/pxeboot/initrd.img
images/pxeboot/initrd-everything.img

images/{de,es,fr,it,ja}/boot.img
images/{de,es,fr,it,ja}/bootnet.img
images/{de,es,fr,it,ja}/pcmcia.img

        When they change the abiword package the changes are reflected on 
all these files? Some of them are obvious (TRANS.TBL, etc) but other like 
boot.cat, initrd*.img, pcmcia.img, drv*.img are not so obvious...
