When adept runs and finds a bunch of upgradeable programs...
Is there a way to see how much additional disk space will be used? It does say how large the update downloads are, but doesn't give me an idea of how much more space it'll take once installed. We are working with a finite hard drive space, and perhaps I may not apply the latest and greatest update if it is inflating the OS beyone what I find as acceptable.
Such as, Adept tells me it is downloading 60MB of upgrades. I assume this 60MB is zipped and probably a lot more once unzipped. Then it installs, replacing the original components (I dunno how it manages to over install programs that I currently have running without shutting them down, But that is for another post I guess.), and then hopefully it deletes the original out of date component as well as the zipped downloads. You do this say 20 times (A logical number in one running of adept) and one might have lost a lot of free disk space.
Will adept find updates to other non Kubuntu programs? Like Wine, beryl, etc. I think in the installation of wine I had to put it in the update list that adept uses. So these guys could really inflate my hard drive too. =)
