Andrei's suggestion arose because I was contemplating on how to expand the (ISO9660 or whatever) filesystem that would end up on the USB stick. Anyway, in hindsight, you can simply create your own jigdo image, big enough to contain the entire Debian repository: apt-cache search jigdo and check out the packages for creation of jigdo image. That sounds like an appealing solution to me. Create quick-and-simple full local repo, then sign the repo with your own signature (this last step should be pretty easy, once you know how :) > P.S. - I *DO* know that I'm [to say the least] peculiar ;} > Thank you for tolerance.

Wanting to achieve your own little plot of perfection is certainly something supported, indeed encouraged, in this community :) Regards Zenaan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
