( /a/l and /a/o and /a/u and /a/a and /a/x .. etc..etc.. ) - granted i started looking and kinda backed out without digging into each line of code ( why so many /a subdirs ) -------- if i wanted a time stamp at a particular time: tar zcvf DATE.tgz the whole-local-tree or do incrementals of only the changed stuff .. and burn onto cdrom ( if its critical to not mess it up ) -------- after apt-get update && upgrade, why not just use apt-move to move /var/lib/cache into /home/httpd/local-deb-mirror ? /etc/apt-move.conf is fairly simple to config/modify ... LOCALDIR=/home/httpd/html/DebianMirror "apt-move update" which is the equivalent of: apt-move get apt-move move apt-move delete apt-move packages - granted this only mirrors/moves the files used on the server and not the entire tree c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
