Ubuntu update

I decided to pre-download the updates for Ubuntu 5.04.

apt-get makes this an easy task as all I did was:

• create a new sources.list with only hoary resporitories
• sudo apt-get -o Dir::Etc::SourceList=./sources.list --just-print upgrade
• sudo apt-get -o Dir::Etc::SourceList=./sources.list -d update

The --just-print may not have been needed but I added it as I wasn't sure and didn't wan't to kill my current system as I'm on dialup.

Now I just have to wait for about 240Mb of packages to download, if only they used delta packages (packages containing only the changes) or just send the deltas to the version released (just the changes between the package files). Both couls be obtained with bsdiff & bspatch
