hint: read that doc to get the idea.

then go to:

    /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz
    
and copy the Dir section. i've got to modify basically:

    // Directory layout
    Dir "/"
    {

to "/mnt/gnu", and,

    status "/var/lib/dpkg/status";

to "/mnt/gnu/var/..."; the other paths are relative, no problem.

you've got to set the "hurd-i386" Architecture, and surely the
Download-Only to "true".

take a look, maybe you also want to change more parameters.. after that
move the apt.conf to, say, /mnt/gnu/etc/apt/apt.conf, and that's all.
then you can already use "apt-get -c /m/g/e/a/apt.conf update" and so.

i've got a problem with this, maybe i'm missing some step, but apt
doesn't update the status file, i've got to do it �manually? (�at
hand?). does anybody have this problem, or any hint?
