Yep. apt-get -dy install FOO && aptitude install FOO where FOO is one or more package names, or 'upgrade' or 'dist-upgrade' If you don't speak shell, the '&&' operator means 'execute the command on my right if and only if the command on my left has a return status of true'. You need to use apt-get as the first command. This is because apt-get returns false if the download fails, while aptitude returns true on success or failure. Once apt-get downloads the packages, aptitude finds them locally, and installs using the normal aptitude features.

This part of the problem is probably solved (testing rigth now) The problem is related to the number of seconds specified in the Timeout var in the /etc/apt/apt.conf file. I specified 5 seconds and apparently this is enough to cause a time out or have a connection fail. Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
