Hello, First, thanks for your reply, and sorry for my last message about apt-move, I've didn't see you've answered me in this mailing list thread.
> How's you're sources.list? My sources.list looks like something like that : deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free I'm creating the mirror on a machine using potato with hight bandwith (ADSL in french). But I want to mirror the woody archive. > You have to enter your local archive before the external sources, otherwise > apt-move will download the whole archive from external everytime. As I'm using potato on this machine, that's what I want. > You have to > enter all the sources which you want to mirror in you sources.list file with > the appropriate dists. But, If I add 'woody' on my sources.dist, my distrib will be updated to woody, not potato ? Is it ? > Remember to run apt-get update before running apt-move mirror.

They seem to be, my log file seems to say this, but I didn't try to use apt-get on my potato machine for these woody packages. --- BELOW A PART OF MY LOG FILE --- Wrote 825 entries to output Packages file.
