The way that I do this is to setup a copy of squid and then make apt go via the proxy; this allows all the updated lists and deb's to be cached locally. You could do something similar with 'apt-cacher', or 'apt-proxy' without the need to do any explicit mirroring. Steve -- # Debian Security Audit Project http://www.steve.org.uk/Debian/
