apt-get update

[Merv Curley]

A friend of mine has spent an hour on dialup doing the above.  When he started 
adept he had a list of new packages and upgrades to installed packages.

When he started adept the next day it only showed installed packages.  I 
assume that what he got from the update is in a file somewhere on his 
computer?

I've never had this happen, but this guy, a newbie, is forever doing something 
and causing him and me, problems.  Me cuz I'm supposed to have these answers 
and a lot of the time I am clueless.

Help
