If you do:
apt-get -s upgrade
it will tell you what it is going to do without actually doing it.
Pipe the output into a file and take it to your friends house.

How could I get a list of needed packages for a dist-upgrade

Thanks for posting this.
When one lists both stable and unstable distributions, who wins (for
example, if you use the automatic update procedure)?
I might want to get a thing or two off unstable, but I don't want to just
pull everything since it might be, well, unstable :)

Ross,
Well, APT seems to be fairly intelligent in how it handles this
particular file anyway. Once I did the update I did an
apt-get upgrade -s just to see what it would do. It held back
like 197 packages and updated 127 existing ones. Most
of the ones held back seemed to be involved with

Since we are all sharing, here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists stable/non-US/binary-i386/
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists unstable/non-US main
contrib non-free
Hmm...

I connect the old-fashioned way : 56k dialup access using PPP :)
You shouldn't, the HTTP code in APT is very carefully optimized to get the
best performance so long as you are not using a
