Question #77970 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77970
actionparsnip proposed the following answer: You could easily setup rsync to copy out the files from the cache to another location. This is especially good if you have a seperate home partition and a very small root partition. If home and root are on the same partition then this is not necessary. If you run: sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic you should set: APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0"; which should then never clean them out (as far as I am aware). If you use the rsync option, you could rsync directly to a USB storage device / SD Card which you can them immediately transfer to another system. Pretty slick. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
