 Hey,
 
 Just wondering if i was to download all debian woody cd's could i copy
 
 the contents to a folder on my Intranet server and use that as an

 or is missing parts.
 
 It would only be for LAN access and would be accessable from a url
 like http://server1/debian

apt-cache search mirror | grep deb looks like it might have some
options for you. But I don't think I would bother.

I would install apt-proxy or apt-cacher instead and let it mirror what
you actually use (if you've already downloaded it once, it gives you the
file w/o accessing the net, otherwise it downloads the file and streams
it to you while making a copy of it in your repository).

HTH,
Jacob

 Thanks
 Grant.

see http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#lan-install for the information..  It will tell you 
how to set up the apt sources for iso images from your LAN.
it's something like:
deb http://192.138.1.1/cd1/  stable main contrib
deb http://192.168.1.1/cd2/  stable main contrib


also check out www.apt-got.com, debmirror, anonftpsync, and of course 
http://www.debian.org/mirror/ as they will be able to answer most questions.
