Yes. In fact, that's what it should be doing already. Isn't it? > It will be useful to create a new debian based box using both local and the > internet mirror. > I'd write the local mirror to cdrom. You can do that. I keep a similar mirror of the packages I use on one of my systems (ie, 'apt-move sync' -- I don't want a full mirror.. the 200M or so I have of debs is plenty) and propogate that to the others via NFS.
