You can choose whether you want security updates at install time. (There may be a default value unless you use expert mode.) You can comment the security line(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list any time you like. 2. You can ^C out of the upgrade process any time you like. When you decide to repeat it, apt will automatically carry on downloading from where it was with no waste of time/bandwidth. Cheers, David.
