Creating local mirror
For creating a local mirror, I found the script mkdebmirror. In this script, an rsync to debian/dists/etch/main/disks-i386 (or disks-amd86) is done. This data is however not available. Nor on the german, dutch or ftp.debian.org site. Who knows what the data is, which is rsynced to my machine? Walter

If you want, I could search I might have some old scripts where such errors are corrected, but in general, I'd recommend using apt-mirror - it's simple and powerful, uses lines looking like sources.list entries. One note: with the Etch version of apt-mirror, don't use the cleanup feature - it has problems with packages with ~ in it, and cleans them away evenb if they ar up to date. Fixed in Unstable/Testing.

IIRC, this directory does not exists after sarge, so not need to rsync it for etch or after. -- regards Thomas
