Hi,

        Not answering but asking :-|
        How could I get a list of needed packages for a dist-upgrade
without downloading it over dial-up?
        I'll explain: suppose I want to upgrade my slink system. My
connection is a 56k (old fashioned too). It's impossible to do this
over dial-up. 
        So I would like to know what packages should be needed, go to a
colleague that has a 10Mbps connection, download the packages to one or two
zip disks and copy the packages to /var/cache/apt at home. 
        Is this possible?
