Ok, problem solved.
When using PRELOAD you have to make sure that you include the Packages and override file as well. Also, I had to add a line into install packages after preloading the files which updated the apt cache via "apt-get update". Once I did this, files being installed off of my local mirror worked fine. -justin On Fri, 15 Feb 2002, justin wrote: > > > Hey I'm just curious about the exact usage of PRELOAD.
