Re: query about kernel, download options, sessions
> i am privacy freak, hence not using android. however, after seeing size of libreoffice, is there any way an option to download only small portion. i have overheard aboout similar option in our os debian. this is must, only metered ethernet or wifi connections
in my area. i am specifically interested about disadvantages compared to full package or normal update or upgrade.
just now i found correct words: delta update - on android or express updates -on windows. do we have similar option ?

where can i find more info about debian dvd contents.

i will check which package supports.

there is no relation between both of them. i dont want to miss my important emails while using or checking other work.

thank you for heads up. i will prepare a list of packages and ask package coders about it or search package help manual.

i am trying to avoid accidental closing or quitting package.

i will do more research about "virtual terminals".
