On 12.04LTS but get security updates almost every day and I guess on the one hand that could be encouraging, on the other, I do start to wonder why they don't all arrive at once. (I know now. It's how it connects to the internet.) Is there any way of asking Update Manager to show them every fortnight instead? I can’t see that option. Ta. I'm on a limited broadband band deal during peak hours so saving them up would be useful if possible.

If you click on the "settings" button in Software Updater then it offers various intervals for "Automatically check for updates:" - daily, every two days, weekly, fortnightly....

I don't get those options for _security_ updates though.

Oh, yes, sorry. In that case I don't know how you can delay security updates.
