Let's see if this might help: I share the apt/archives directory on the firewall/fileserver via NFS with this entry:
file: /etc/exports /var/cache/apt/archives 192.168.0.2(rw,no_root_squash,insecure_locks) and mount this directory on the workstations in this same location that way whenever I download a package on one workstation is automatically available to all others without a re-download. Downsides 1-Only one workstation can use apt at a given time, 2-You need to use the kernel-nfs server that provides lock file support over NFS, other wise dpkg refuses to run(hence the option = insecure_locks). This method only shares the packages and not the package lists, thus allowing some PCs to run slink others potato or woody. Hope this gives you any idea. /Robert/ Bernhard Wesely wrote: > Oh sorry,...
