Hi,
I'v recently installed Debian on my system. The current version of GDM that I have is 2.2 and I would like to upgrade it to 2.4. I understand that I can use apt-get to do this. The trouble is I only have a dialup Internet connection, which gets cut off after 2 hours. And I'm guessing that downloading all of the necessary GDM files will take more than 2 hours. So, if I start the download process using apt-get and it gets cut-off halfway through, will I be able to continue the installation process once I reconnect to the Internet? I'm worried that if the installation process stops halfway, my Linux system will be messed up.
Is it possible to tell apt-get to download all of the necessary deb files first and then perform the installation only when it has what it needs?
Thanks for any advice,
Craig
