Hi Geoff, The reference I found in my notes is http://olympus.het.brown.edu/cgi-bin/dwww?type=text/plain&location=/usr/share/doc/apt-doc Jason Gunthorpe: Using APT Offline
Googling under apt offline, you'll find these instructions in a couple of places. If you read German, you can find a subchapter on the topic in Frank Ronneburg's debiananwenderhandbuch.de (on line). The contents is similar or identical although he does not mention Gunthorpe. I had used Gunthorpe's paper. Especially if you use the testing or unstable distribution, do not forget to always start your session with "apt-get update", because the versions change very frequently, and with off-line work this leads to frustrating eroor messages and duplication of work. Good luck, Avraham ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
