I use the mirror program (in the mirror package, in the net directory on the FTP sites) to download a fresh copy of the Debian distribution every once in a while, then one can update the packages from there, either directly, using dpkg -i package.deb or through dselect, setting the access method to a mounted hard disk. > - I was although looking for the olwm window manager.
