When I had dial-up, I set a cron-job at about 3am to do updates. Since it was daily, it was not too bad and I was usually asleep at 3am. My cron job only downloaded, as I never trust automated things to actually run the patch/updates for me. Cable or DSL will be a lot faster, and not too much more expensive. Look at what is available in your area. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
