i have a potato machine which doesn't have access to the outside world
except through a windows machine on the same ethernet segment. moving the
outside-world-access to the potato machine and proxying for the windows
machine is not an option, and installing wingate on the windows machine
would be a serious dent in my pride. ;)
i would like to know how i can manually perform an `apt-get update' on my
machine. i presume that i need to:
- download a Packages.gz file for each line in sources.list;
- `add' said file to apt.
has anybody done this before? ideally i would like to get a list of
absolute URLs for the Package.gz files which i can give to wget. i can do
this for a `apt-get upgrade' by doing
apt-get -yy --print-uris upgrade | awk '{print $1}'
any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
