Dexter, there are 3600 seconds in an hour, not 360. So your calculation is reduced down to 2.2 hours.
Sheesh, you could have updated your system by now! You can also find the fastest mirror from your location by using netselect-apt (in the netselect package). Log in as root, go to your home dir, type 'netselect-apt woody'. Then look for a sources.list file in your current dir. Copy the new lines to your existing /etc/apt/sources.list Cory On Fri, Oct 18, 2002 at 11:13:52PM -0700, Dexter Graphic wrote: > On Fri, 2002-10-18 at 22:01, Larry Price wrote: > > What problem are you trying to solve, is it that you don't have the > > bandwidth and don't want to get stuck with your phone line occupied, > > or is it that don't have the disk space? > > I want to apply any system security updates that have come out since > Woody was released in July.
