Interrupting updating process
#1
Usually the updating of LL doesn't take more than 30 mins, however I had a computer that hadn't been updated since January that I updated yesterday.  It took about 2 hours to download and install the updates.

I will be meeting some youth today who have other computers running LL 3.4 that they have been using since January so haven't been updated recently thus I wanted to check (in case their updating takes long): 

1) At what point during the updating (downloading and installing) MIGHT I be able to stop the process and then resume it again?  Almost all of these computer require to be plugged in as the batteries are dead.

2) IF I can't "properly" interrupt the process WHAT HAPPENS if it is interrupted/stopped?  Will this play havoc with the OS/Computer and should I simply wait to update it when I know I have an uninterrupted period?

3) I thought there was a point between the downloading and installing where it asks "do you want to install these", however I didn't see it yesterday on the computer I updated.  I did leave it on it's own for a bit and wondered if perhaps I missed this question and then it went on to install after a countdown...Does anyone recall if it asks?

Thanks.
