I'm on a dialup connection, so when I do an 'apt-get dist-upgrade,' I
use diald to reconnect in case I get booted from my ISP.
Unfortunately, during the downtime in between, a file or two is
usually lost in the process. This causes apt-get to not go on to the
install phase; it quits after the download. Is there a way to force
apt-get to either try to get the missing files again, or continue the
install without the missing files?
