What I'm doing is mount my Debian GNU/Hurd partition as /gnu and have the attached file as /gnu/etc/apt/apt.conf.offline. Then, I cd into /gnu/etc/apt and do 'apt-get -c apt.conf.offline install foo' or 'apt-cache search -c apt.conf.offline bar' etc. cheers, Michael -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html
