Hi, I've recently started using Debian after some time with SuSE and am finding lots about Debian I like better, not the least is dpkg/dselect/apt.
One thing I've done is to accumulate a number of updated packages off the Web which replace those on the potato CD. I now want to re-install on a second machine from scratch and wonder how I can have dselect recognise the accumulated .debs. As far as I can see I need to create a Package.gz for dselect's benefit but don't really know where to look for information on how to do this. Is it possible? Cheers, Robin Collins
