I think the best way ( I am using it!! ) is:
creat a web server on ayour or another machine , you put all your CD's in a directory
say /var/www/Debian, ( I assume that your default web is in /var/www, the address of the serveur is 192.168.10.10),
now go to /var/www and run the command dpkg-scanpackages Debian /dev/null | gzip > Debian/Packages.gz
To use it from any machine in /etc/apt/sources.list you put this line:
deb http://192.168.10.10 Debian/ don't forget the / at the end of Debian
Of course you can use ftp server instead of web server
here is my config: I put all debian packages in 2 machines , and a directory ( Misc ) to store other packages which are not on debian sites
deb http://172.19.160.174 Debian/ deb http://172.19.160.173 debs/ deb http://172.19.160.174 Misc/
best regards , I hope this helps you bela
