Look into using jigdo. The way that works is that you download a template file for the debian weekly builds. Then you download eventually a full dvd of the debian-weekly ISO, use that for your updates, and then in a week, you regenerate the dvd content, but you only have to download the changed files, since jigdo will use the existing dvd-rw as a source. Or you can have one machine with all the debs available and point the other machines to it as a source, but then you need to set up a local area network to accomplish that. You could also keep /var/cache/apt/archives up to date on a source machnie and use a usb stick to keep the other machines current, syncing /var/cache/apt/archives to the usb stick, and mount the usb stick under /var/cache/apt. -- thanks for letting me change the magnetic patterns on your hard disk. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
