Hi am fwding this message again - in case some one has any bright ideas
With another query a few years back a friend setup Ubuntu on our (ex) office network as a bonus he also put the entire debian repository as iso files into one section and said i could use it to download any package and not have to visit the net - that time i was still coming to grips with how to deal with basic linux, updating was not even in the peripheral vision. So is that some kind of option I am kinda of desperate and none of the solutions so far seem to work. Is there some way i can mimic the cd's on the hard disk and that apt accepts this mimic. thanks ram ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ramnarayan.
