Description: Update a non-networked computer using apt and removable media These scripts simplify the process of using dselect and apt on a non-networked Debian box, using removable media like ZIP floppies. One generates a `fetch' script (supporting backends such as wget and lftp, in a modular, extensible way) to be run on a host with better connectivity, check space constraints of your removable media, and then install the package on your Debian box. . Note on current version: space-checking is not done and spanning multiple disks is not yet supported. > I cannot connect to the net because I use a 2.4.6-Kernel and ppp is > the old version, which does not work together with the new > 2.4.x-Kernel. http://linux-apus.sourceforge.net/debian/dists/potato/ has potato backports of modutils and ppp for 2.4 kernels. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
