XFree86-4

[David J. <jo...@co...>]

Hi ,
I am in the process of updating my working debian 2.2r3 (originally from CD's) installation with Xfree-4.
(Is it worth the effort?)
I have used an apt-get install xserver -Xfree86 command and been told I need to download 31mb of stuff and 57mb will subsequently be removed from my installation. Things like abiword, gnome files etc are to be removed.
Does this sound correct.
I don't want to go ahead and find I need to start again.
I pay for my online time per minute so I would like an alternative method if possible, is there one. (downloading seems alot slower that using my miggy, any way of speeding this up)
apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade both take ages, is there an easier way of upgrading to an up todate setup?
Any help would be great.

Yours faithfully

Regards,

Dave
