Yep. >Is this at all dangerous? Slink hasn't been released officially, so there is a small element of risk involved. It's more likely that a couple of packages may be awkward to install than anything serious though. >What happens if my ppp link dies in the middle? apt-get will pick up the download when you re-connect, keeping downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives with partial downloads in [...]/partial. It doesn't install a thing until it's downloaded the lot, so make sure you have enough disk space.
