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?
