Just for interest's sake, would it not be possible to burn the CD according to the dir structure in var/xxx/xxx and then mount the CD/DVD to appear in that dir so that YOU believes the patches/updates are already d/l and just awaiting installation?
Of course.
For example, as I use a modem, I download the big updates, like the kernel, in fractions over several days, with wget. When finished, I move the file to /var.... and fire up YOU, which runs as usuall, but skips the act of downloading files already there, and installs them happily.

I had never tried that but I surmised that it must be at least theoretically possible. Thanks. :-) -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio
