If I generate a "Package Download Script" in Snyaptic can it be rn from a terminal window instead of Synaptic?

That's because you run many, many, many sudo commands and it might
timeout after some time.

Instead, run one sudo command and make it run apt-get as often as you
want it to. Like so:

sudo sh -c "apt-get update &&
apt-get upgrade &&
apt-get install linux-generic &&
apt-get install linux-headers-generic && …"

Having said that, I agree with someone who said that it would probably
a better idea to run only "one" apt-get install command, like so:

sudo sh -c "apt-get update &&
apt-get upgrade &&
apt-get install linux-generic linux-headers-generic …"

Alexander
