How did you decide what to download in the first place? I seem to remember a related thread that I can't find in the archives at the moment; I don't know if it was related to this one or not :-( IIRC, the idea was to apt-get -d upgrade to check what was to be installed before installing it. Then the problem was to install those, without picking up any more that might have arrived in the meantime. So apt-get --no-download upgrade should do it. Or I could have completely missed the point :-) Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
