The strange question is whether it's possible to halt apt-get when it's downloading stuff without losing what's already been downloaded? Until I get hooked up with broadband I'm on a dialup with a 2 hour cutoff which sort of limits what I can download in that time. I'm just looking for a way around it...
not a problem, I have a dial up link and do it all the time. apt just seems to pick up where it left off.
How about this one though? Is it possible to do an apt-get upgrade on one system (with a fast link) and just download the deb files and then put them on a slower system and do the apt-get upgrade there without it trying to download the lot a 2nd time?
