The problem is that when you need an package that you haven't installed before, the package it isn't in cache (the same goes for a fresh testing install). Moreover an accidental apt clean could easily wipe out your careful build up cache. Is it possible to have a local copy of an apt mirror? I have 5 machines that can sync with a local apt-mirror and that way I can have better version control. Or maybe I can install all available software in order to create my own repository. Is there an easy way to install all available software in Debian? Regards, Aniruddha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
