Greetings,

I'm working on an automated Debian installation without network access.
I've discovered the --make-tarball and --unpack-tarball switches which I use to 
create the tarball and use it as repo.
the initial deployment is this: debootstrap --arch amd64 --unpack-tarball 
/tmp/debs.tar.gz stable /mnt
which installs the base pkgs however debs.tar.gz holds other deb files which I 
want to install when within the chroot.
I looked at the /mnt after the initial deployment and I see that there are 
files that might help me in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and  /var/lib/apt/lists/.
so I was wondering, is there a way to use these files to create a valid local 
repo and use it to install the pkgs I've prepared using the --make-tarball 
switch.
is there a standard way to do it which I've might have missed while looking 
online?

Thanks,

Dagg
