I have a dialup connection and sometimes I download a package over more than one dialup session, save it in a directory and install it with dpkg. I have tried apt, but could not get it to install a package from a directory on my hard disk - which is frustrating. It seems to me apt is looking for the same directory structure that the debian mirrors have and I am not going to mirror the whole structure on my hard disk.
