apt-move rocks! The idea of building a partial local mirror using debs downloaded by apt-get is right on.
But here's the deal. I have multiple debian (potato) machines on my network, and only one with the disk space for a mirror. It's a server and doesn't have X installed. However, pretty much all the other Linux boxen on the net will have X installed. So how do I download those packages only once? Obviously I have room to build a temporary mirror on a client box (or apt-get wouldn't work in the first place). Is there a straightforward way to merge the debs on the client box into my partial mirror on my server? TIA, Pann -- geek by nature, Linux by choice L I N U X .~.
