I have an older computer and a slowish connection. How can I get apt to
upgrade one package at a time? Generally, if you upgrade it will
download all the packages and then, once they're downloaded, upgrade.

I suppose the other approach is to set apt to just download packages and
then at a later date, once they're all downloaded, upgrade all the
packages. I've never been really clear on how to know when the packages
are downloaded or what the next step is.


https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/automatic-updates.html

doesn't really make it clear, at least to me, how to set apt to simply
download, and then how to know when it's done, and then how actually
upgrade from what's been downloaded.

I just went from 11.10 to 12.04 and don't relish upgrading all the
packages in one go.



thanks,


Thufir
