showthread.php?t=7455 gives me some people wondering the same thing, and generating a Packages file, and creating a depository *directory*. (There's also some stuff about Synaptic, whatever that is.) That's neater than just copying all the deb files from my apt/archives to his, but it still doesn't get me something I could put on an isofs so that apt-cdrom would understand it. "Make a CD which apt-cdrom will accept" is the part I still haven't found. Thanks. Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
