Hi, At home I run Debian Sid, but only have a dial-up connection (56k). At work, however, I run RedHat 6.2 but have a leased line. I followed the instructions in the offline document (/usr/share/doc/apt/offline.html) to get a package list from apt which can be retrieved via wget.
So now I have a directory with 140 meg of .deb files in. The document says that: $ apt-get -o Dir::Cache::archives=/mnt/debian/unstable update Should update my system using the packages I downloaded. However, apt ignores that directory and starts downloading the files from the ftp servers again. Help! Why is apt doing this! Any suggestions? Thanks for any help, Ross Burton
