Re: Sarge Cd Installation

[Paul Tsai]

Thanx for the advice.  I unfortunately don't have internet access at 
home, which is why I am working off the cd's.  Is there a way to change 
apt.conf to look off a hard drive location?

You can mirror it with debmirror ... you find debmirror in sarge. 
for ex., if you want to put the mirror in /home/ftp/debian, get Sarge
(testing) and the sections main,contrib,non-free for i386: 

debmirror /home/ftp/debian/  --nosource --passive \
	--host=ftp.ro.debian.org --dist=testing \
	--section=main,contrib,non-free \ 
	--arch=i386 --progress --verbose

skip main/debian-installer section mentioned in man, it fails to
download

I have downloaded a weekly build of sarge and burned 9 of 13 cd's onto
rewriteables (ran out).  Everything is working really nicely, and I'm 
quite impressed.  I am however wondering if there is a way for me to 
combine the iso's (or just the packages) together on my hard drive 
somewhere and get apt to work from that repository.

thanx in adavance
