Sure. The 'debian-cd' package contains all the tools you need to convert a local mirror (created by the apt-move program I mentioned in my previous post) to one or more CDs, which can even be bootable. -- Rob Weir [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://ertius.org/ pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The quick hacky way: copy all the files into a big pile in one dir, and then run 'apt-move' on them. apt-move is in all current (Debian) distros that I know of, and it works quite well. For a single release, anyway, but since you only want woody, that'll be fine. -- Rob Weir [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://ertius.org/ pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I have scanned the docks but cannot find a description - if the answer is a RTFM, could someone point me to the correct fine manual :-) Steve 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.
