Alice: A search of this list for through the past 60 days will turn up many answers to the question you're asking. One interesting answer was to apply the "--download_only" switch to the "apt-get dist-upgrade" command, and execute this as a cron job overnight.

If you're considering updating before Woody moves to Stable, you may want to explicitly point etc/apt/sources.list at Woody, instead of Testing. You may want to keep this setting if you're considering several apt-get sessions over the next few months. There will doubtless be several Woody updates, and you will want those updates instead of what will be in Testing. -- microsoft free by 2003 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
