I am referrring to what you said. I'll quote: <quote> 2. followed by # apt-get update # apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade # apt-get dist-upgrade </quote> So do: # apt-get update # apt-get upgrade # apt-get dist-upgrade Do it in more than one stage.

I repeat - for clarity, not because I think that you are deaf ;-): I am referrring to what you said. I'll quote: <quote> 2. followed by # apt-get update # apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade # apt-get dist-upgrade </quote> I don't get the point of the middle line there. The line with "--download-only" in it. Unless you have a very poor internet connection and want to download overnight I can't see the point.
