As another posted noted, you cannot connect ADSL peer-to-peer. It requires [DSLAM | magic pixie dust] at the telephone exchange.

Manual monthly updates burned to DVD should be fine. It's not ideal, and low-risk is not no-risk, but I'd turn automatic updates off, or switch them to notifications only. Might be an idea to take a backup, though, just in case. Then you can wipe and reinstall in the very unlikely event that a problem occurs. -- Andrew Oakley -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
