I'm on a slow connection so I'm using the -d option with apt-get. Should I run all of the above (starting with dist-upgrade) first with the -d option and then run them again without to do the final install? e.g. apt-get -d dist-upgrade apt-get -d upgrade apt-get -d dselect-upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get upgrade apt-get dselect-upgrade Or, would it be more like this: apt-get -d dist-upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get -d upgrade apt-get upgrade apt-get -d dselect-upgrade apt-get dselect-upgrade
