Ian, I have been setup by Phil Hands to have the following.
1. My Server as a complete copy of Hamm as at 1 Sept. 2. My sources.list in /etc/apt first points to the copy on my server and then to the copy on the debian ftp site. Now I only pay to collect the changes. If I install the same thing on multiple machines one after the other then the squid cache means less downloads. I also have a thing called resync which can be used to update the complete copy on my fileserver by only collecting the changes. Don't know where Phil got that from (my guess is that it will be in the unstable directories somewhere). Hope this helps. Dave
