What serveral people do is use APT and mount /var/cache/apt/archives/ across all of the machines. You can also mount /var/state/apt/lists/ if your machines have identical sources.list entries. Then any machine that installs a package puts it into that cache and it becomes available to all other machines. Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
