Re: request for documentation pointer



Alice:

A search of this list for through the past 60 days will turn up many
answers to the question you're asking. One interesting answer was to
apply the "--download_only" switch to the "apt-get dist-upgrade"
command, and execute this as a cron job overnight. Again, read the list
archives for the precise description of this technique.

If you're considering updating before Woody moves to Stable, you may
want to explicitly point etc/apt/sources.list at Woody, instead of
Testing. You may want to keep this setting if you're considering several
apt-get sessions over the next few months. There will doubtless be
several Woody updates, and you will want those updates instead of what
will be in Testing.
