Re: Creating a debian local mirror from 5 debian DVDs
Actually, approx comes with a tool to import debs into its cache: approx import. You just point it at some deb files and voila! No downloading needed. No other go but to use apt-proxy/apt-cacher/approx. Will use them and get back with the experience. Btw, how do I turn off the digest mode and subscribe to the regular one mail per mail to the list mode? Subscribed to the non-digest version alongwith the already subscribed digest.

Creating a debian local mirror from 5 debian DVDs
Hi all, I want to do mass network installation using pxe boot and using a local debian mirror. However I don't want to download the files from a debian mirror to create a local one? Is it possible to create a mirror using the 5 DVDs of debian that I have? I tried using the option 'debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true' in pxelinux.cfg/default file, but I get a 'bad archive mirror' error. How to work around this problem? Thank you.

Hi, Take a look at apt-cacher instead of a full mirror, see whether it could help you. http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-set-up-a-repository-cache-with-apt-cacher Or approx - I use it and like it very much. The problem is that these tools involve one time download and I don't want to make even that as I have all the debian 504 dvds with me. I can't even do that one time download. Btw, how do I turn off the digest mode and subscribe to the regular one mail per mail to the list mode?
