Let's do it one more time :) I'm a (l)user, and I don't care a lot about security (ex: only when my BOFH cries). So when he cries, I launch MandrakeUpdate. kde3.0.5a has to be upgraded. I use a dsl, so downloading the whole stuff takes me 5h. But if it is 16h, and I quit my job at 18. so I have only 2 hours left to download the whole stuff, so next morning I have to remember, when I come at work to launch the download. that's a first idea to break the download in several times. Next idea, is that: If I must download the upgrades, why can't the computer detect it, and download it in my place ? when it will have all the packages, I will provide the root passwd to install these upgrades. My idea is to download the stuff without requesting a user action (but it can notify him), and only ask the root passwd, to do the install of the packages Emmanuel Emmanuel
