hello all
I have been using apt-get to install packages from the Internet. I prepared
to install some packages from the non-free section off the debian site and
the info told me that I was in the process of downloading 35mb. Since i am
using a 56k
dial up access this was going to take a considerable period. I cancelled the
operation using C-c. I want to know how to cancel this in totality so that
when i am installing packages in the future apt-get does not tory to install
these other packages.
Thanks for your time
Have you tried writing a script that will only update the packages
you regularly want updated?
That way, you don't have to enter the same command (apt-get install
thispackage thatpackage thatotherpackage) with possibly many packages
in the list.
