Hi Man page for apg-get says -d, --download-only Download only; package files are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed. I don't see s per-package down load here. It appears to me that apt-get -d only fetches packages, but doesn't unpack or install. This sees different from what I'm reading from correspondents. If I'm not reading this correctly, please enlighten me. Weasel words: Of course the man pages are not the complete documentation. I'll continue to RTFM. If there really is an option or method that will fetch a package, install it, then delete the package then fetch the next one, I want to know about it. I only have 1 Gig of disk space right now, with Deb 2.0, I NEED to upgrade. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
