Re: Upgrade problems
When Tod Detre wrote, I replied:
Are you using apt as your access method? I've started using this and
specifying a list of sites to use for access and am delighted with the
results. I recently ran dselafter not having done so for an extended
period. I downloaded something (I forget just what) and dselect
automatically brought down ~25-30 applications which had been upgraded
since last I ran dselect. It took several re-starts to get the required
packages (my ISP hangs up after six hours) but other than restarting
ppp (which I could let diald or something handle weere I a bit less
paranoid) and hitting <RETURN> a few times in dselect, things went
swimmingly. Two or three files in parallel from different mirrors
kept my 33600 modem pulling ~4kb/s - Nice job!!
