If you can lend your friend a disk drive, either to install in a computer or in a USB enclosure, that's a fine way to get a mirror. You can use debmirror for the purpose.I would like to set up a home "mirror" (i386 archive) to run my installs from. I am on dial-up and a friend has offered to download the 13 CDs of Sarge for me to help get started.
What is the best way to take the CDs and "convert" them into a working APT archive? Is this something I would use apt-mirror for, or is there another program?
This is new territory for me, so if someone could point to a good howto I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks for the time. Preston
It also facilitates getting the mirror updated from time to time.It's pretty much what I do.
Also, a well-configured Squid is a handy thing: download once, reuse forever.
