Hi, I'd really like to upgrade but not with apt-get and my 33.6-Modem. Therefore I downloaded all packages mentioned in "ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/ChangeLog"; at the local Universitiy. (I simply "grepped" all lines starting with "dists" -- please tell me if this is not enough!) Now I have all the packages on my disk but when I put the tree into /etc/apt/sources.list and do an "apt-get update" it complains about missing Packages.gz files. I tried to put these files together but wasn't very succesfull as there doesn't seem to be much documentation on this. (My approach was to put the output of "dpkg --info" executed in a for loop over all packages in one file, but that didn't work :-( ) Please help me if there is an easy to build Packages.gz files or give me a pointer to some usable information.
Thanks in advance - Konrad Mierendorff
