Hello list! Eventually I have taken the time to setup my box to automatically download security fixes. The "problem" in my setup is that I have unofficial deb sources for some programs (OpenOffice.org and wine) and I don't want them to be upgraded automatically. Here's a tip for users that follow stable but also have other deb sources. 1. install cron-apt, and configure cron-apt to actually upgrade rather than just download debs. 2. make two versions of sources.list, "sources_full.list" including the unofficial deb sources, "sources_security.list" with only security.debian.org... 3. write a cron script like: cp /etc/apt/sources_security.list /etc/apt/sources.list cronapt cp /etc/apt/sources_full.list /etc/apt/sources.list -- Note that I use Debian version 3.0 Linux emac140 2.4.17 #1 sön feb 10 20:21:22 CET 2002 i686 unknown Hans Ekbrand
