So how do i make the pool and dists for these separate dvd;s what is this tree - all the 5 dvd's have the same dists pool directory setup so will i have to have sub directories indicating , for eg. /fullpath/ubuntu/dvd1 ... dvd2 and so on > 4) do apt-get update > > For more specific instruction let us know exactly how you want to use > the local repository. > I have a 5 dvd set for ubuntu 7.10 and want to do a few things with it 1. First have the entire repository on an external hard disk so that i can update all the ubuntu machines that are possible. am assuming if i direct the apt-get on my 7.04 machine to this new repository my update / upgrade will be nice and easy without breaking the system and maintaining my various handmade configs as it is (having personalized grub and the login screen and the various usb devices internet card, cdma phone etc as it is) 2. Make it easier to install any programme without having to pop in and pop out a variety of dvd's thanks ram
