Well, the method is:

(a) Wake up in the morning.
(b) Find a free phone line that no one minds you using.
(c) Set your /etc/apt/source.list for woody on a local mirror.
(d) Dail your ISP.
(e) apt-get update
(f) apt-get upgrade -d
       wait a few seconds, press Y
       This will DOWNLOAD only. No install, just download.
(g) Go to school
(h) Learn stuff.
(i) Return from school, to find some/all of woody downloaded, but not 
    installed.
(j) Now repeat apt-get upgrade, but without the "-d".
(k) Have fun. ;)


It'll take some time. Here's a quicker way. Come to the INSTALLFEST 
Saturday August 25th at Hackett Cafe, UWA. Bring a blank CD, and people 
will BURN it to CD for you. Bring your machine along, and people will guide 
you int he right direction. Tony's doing some work on this, and there will 
be an advertisiing campaign to rival... well... anyway... this email is 
a prelude to any advertising campaign, OK? So, InstallFest is happening. 
More info soon.
