Hello,
I am using Fedora, but have a temperamental internet connection at home. Updating can be difficult because large downloads are slow and tend to reach timeouts most of the time.
Is there a way to have my system download one update from the list at a time instead of multiple?
This might at least help prevent me needing to retry upwards of 4-5 times hoping it all eventually succeeds within the timeout and failure limits it seems to have.
I did check online a bit and the manual for dnf, but web searching seems to bring up “updating a single package” not iterating through the available updates to baby my horrible internet. And the manual didn’t seem to mention anything regarding this.
Hoping there is something.
Thank you very much for any suggestions or guidance.
upgrade and update are the same thing, to put it simply, because they are needed to download new versions of programs or so that you can install fresh updates and the latest versions of applications. update — updating the list of packages. upgrade — updating the packages themselves.
