Bruce Bon is still having a problem:
Thanks, guys -- that is easy to understand, and I just set it up --
we'll see how it works tonight.

Under the Update Manager settings, I chose "Download all updates in the
background."  If it had let me, I would have also chosen "Install
security updates without confirmation."  I assume that download will
download but NOT install, and the install will happen when I confirm it
later?  Or does it really mean "Download and install all updates in the
background"?

The other half of the question is, is there an easy way to schedule new
application installs?  The Add/Remove... window has no Settings button
or any other way to schedule.  I know how to do crontab stuff if I need
to, so I can do apt-get in a cron job, but that is error-prone, at best
-- one typo and we try again tomorrow night!  Is there a more idiot-
proof way?

Thanks.
