I don't know about an automated way to combine the two. I looked at the DVD structure and my local mirror structure. It seem that all you need is the 'dists' & 'pool' directories copied from the DVD, same for the uppdate cd. Use 'mount -o loop <*.iso>' in order to do the copy. If you use a 'file' entry in your sources list you will have seperate entries for whatever location you copy the directories to. Not what I would call an elegant Debian tools type solution but should work. Jigdo may be worth a look a for reconstructing a new DVD from the two new sources . You can always use a loop device for mounting the DVD, then use the file location in your sources.list. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
