Yes. > Joost, at the point they've been dselected he can run "dpkg > -l | grep ^in" to get a list of packages to download. Is there a better way? That would print all the installed or installable packages. You are only interested in the specifically upgradable ones. You want to run from the command line: apt-get --print-uris dselect-upgrade > He then puts the debs in /var/cache/apt/archives/? Install via "apt-get > dselect-upgrade"? I think that should get you a long way. I haven't tested it though. > PS: Joost, thanks for all the info. I've learned quite a bit. That makes the circle round, I learnt most of it on debian-user.
