I'm looking at this too for my own use. I'm looking at apt-move to turn my archives into a proper 'mirror' with move subcommand and the sync to complete making a mirror that only has the packages that I have installed. Once I have that done, I'll look at the size of the mirror tree. If its less than a CD, then I can just burn it and use it as a file URL by mounting it as needed rather than a CD with apt-cdrom add. Then I'll look at what it takes to turn it into a proper CD. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
