Download quotas for users
Hi peeps,

I have a teenage lad who needs to learn some discipline with internet access etc. etc. My main problem is that he is downloading so much that he is using more than his fair share. What I'd like to do is set a download quota for him so that he can learn what this all means. Can anyone point me to decent tools / tutorials / or show me how to do this? I have his mother's support on this so this should not turn into a lesson in teenage behaviour :-).

update-bgoffice-dicts

UPDATE-BGOFFICE-DICTS(1)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  UPDATE-BGOFFICE-DICTS(1)

NAME

       update-bgoffice-dicts - automate updating of bgoffice dictionaries

SYNOPSIS

	   update-bgoffice-dicts [option...]

DESCRIPTION

       update-bgoffice-dicts automates the downloading and updating of bgoffice dictionaries. It uses debconf(7) to ask the user which
       dictionaries to download, then invokes bgoffice-dict-download(1) to download them, and finaly extracts the files in the right directory, so
       that bgoffice can find them.

       The last part will fail unless update-bgoffice-dicts is run as root.

OPTIONS

       --no-ask
	   Normally, debconf won't ask the questions that are already seen by the user.  That behaviour is disabled by default, as it is quite
	   useful to be able to change your dictionary selection when invoking update-bgoffice-dicts. If you want to simply re-download and unpack
	   the dictionaries, based on a previously made selection, use that option.
