Dear Sluggers,
I need to burn a cd containing a mirror of this instalation so that I can
duplicate it on another machine without connections.
So far with apt-move I've got a /mirrors directory, and in each node, for
instance
/mirrors/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/
there is a

I sucked down Sid the other night, and along the way one file
failed to download, I was using 'apt-get -d' so I could monitor
the update later. So I grabbed this file, and a couple of others

Well it appears that Connectiva 6.0 is now out and "Conectiva is a

Anyone know if it's possible to get apt to use a different
sources.list even if it's via an option i atp.conf. I've trawlled the

Hi.
I need to create an apt-able archive online for stuff that will
only be internal to my company - is there a howto on the subject
or a program i should use to create the packages.gz file?
