It's not impossible, it just takes a while. The only fresh install of
debian that I have
If you do:
apt-get -s upgrade
it will tell you what it is going to do without actually doing it.
Pipe the output into a file and take it to your friends house.

Hi,
Not answering but asking :-|
How could I get a list of needed packages for a dist-upgrade
without downloading it over dial-up?
I'll explain: suppose I want to upgrade my slink system. My
connection is a 56k (old fashioned too). It's impossible to do this
over dial-up.

You shouldn't, the HTTP code in APT is very carefully optimized to get the
best performance so long as you are not using a p

Hm

Since we are all sharing, here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
# Use for a local mirror - remove the ftp1 http lines for the bits
# your mirror contains.
# deb file:/your/mirror/here/debian stable main contrib non-free

Ross,
Well, APT seems to be fairly intelligent in how it handles this
particular file anyway. Once I did the update I did an
apt-get upgrade -s just to see what it would do. It held back
like 197 packages and updated 127 existing ones. Most
of the ones held back seemed to be involved with act
Thanks for posting this.
When one lists both stable and unstable distributions, who wins (for
example, if you use the automatic update procedure)?
I might want to get a thing or two off unstable, but I don't want to just
pull everything since it might be, well, unstable :)

I ended up creating a good (I think) sources.list file for apt-get ftp,
so I wanted to share it with the group in case it could benefit anyone
else, especially those to whom non-us.debian.org seems to have
dropped off the map (Don't feel bad, I have an OC3 and *I* can't get
there either.) ;)

Todd, here are two lines from mine that make sense for everone.

Does anyone have a suggestion for the best list of servers to use for
the apt sources.list file? I want to be able to keep track of the largest
number of packages in all the various areas, both US and non-us and devel.
