I've had a lot of files in my cache directory of the apt-get program.
I used apt-move to create a local mirror. I'd like to use both ( the local
and the internet mirror ) to update my system. Is it possible for the apt
program with the following 'sources.list' file to look for at first in my
local mirror for files and than if the file doesn't exists it look for files
on the internet?
Yes. In fact, that's what it should be doing already. Isn't it?
It will be useful to create a new debian based box using both local and the
internet mirror.
I'd write the local mirror to cdrom.
You can do that. I keep a similar mirror of the packages I use on one
of my systems (ie, 'apt-move sync' -- I don't want a full mirror.. the
200M or so I have of debs is plenty) and propogate that to the others
via NFS. Works great and means a lot less time and bandwidth wasted
downloading.

That's correct.
I got the following messages; is it problem?
Ign file: frozen/main Release

No, it just doesn't need them.
