Re: Planning Upgrade.
Have a look at the packages apt-move and, maybe best in your situation, apt-zip: $ apt-cache show apt-zip Package: apt-zip Version: 0.11 Priority: extra Section: admin Maintainer: Yann Dirson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depends: apt (= 0.3.10) Architecture: all Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/admin/apt-zip_0.11.deb Size: 12024 MD5sum: b2b0502b7c6c586d2eaf416dc7f5a983 Description: Update a non-networked computer using apt and removable media These scripts simplify the process of using dselect and apt on a non-networked Debian box, using removable media like ZIP floppies. One generates a `fetch' script (supporting backends such as wget and lftp, in a modular, extensible way) to be run on a host with better connectivity, check space constraints of your removable media, and then install the package on your Debian box. . Note on current version: space-checking is not done and spanning multiple disks is not yet supported. installed-size: 36
Re: Planning Upgrade.
Hoi Paulo! Paulo Is there any way to make apt-get list the URL of the files it Paulo would like to download? (If anyone wants to know why I need Paulo this, an explanation follows). You should read /usr/doc/apt/offline.html, the process you mentioned later in your letter is well documented there! -- ignotus

From man apt-get(8):
--print-uris
Instead of fetching the files to install their URIs
are printed. Each URI will have the path, the des
tination file name, the size and the expected md5
hash. Note that the file name to write to will not
always match the file name on the remote site! This
also works with the source command. Configuration
Item: APT::Get::Print-URIs.
Cheers, P. *8^)
