I want to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, and Update Manager is telling me that it will take several hours to download 1.5GB of updated packages on my relatively slow connection. Because of the use of the machine, I don't really want to leave it downloading and updating for several hours.
Is there a way that I can download the required packages to a cache, maybe over several sessions, and then separately kick off the installation process once everything is available?
Synaptic has a tickbox to "Download package files only" which does a similar thing to my request for normal package upgrades, but I don't see a tickbox like that in Update Manager when doing a major version upgrade.
