Binary package hint: apt
apt-get/aptitude/synaptic etc should attempt to download the smallest files needed first. it would mean that things that are made up of small files could eventually be upgraded if (say) a dialup line disconnects before downloading linux-* and openoffice-* sized packages. |

conceptually this would also allow installing minor parts of a system before the whole lot is downloaded (although i appreciate apt is a bit more complex then i make it sound ...) |
