Try apt-move or apt-zip: $ apt-cache show apt-move Package: apt-move Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 160 Maintainer: Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 4.1.12 Depends: awk, bc (>= 1.05a-6), dpkg-dev (>= 1.4.1.6), debianutils (>= 1.13.1), libapt-pkg2.7, libc6 (>= 2.1.94), libstdc++2.10, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 Recommends: apt Filename: dists/woody/main/binary-i386/admin/apt-move_4.1.12.deb Size: 36006 MD5sum: 05df92bcfa42988540a99f7cfa35a11b Description: Move cache of Debian packages into a mirror hierarchy apt-move is used to move a collection of Debian package files into a proper archive hierarchy of the form debian/dists/... It is intended as a tool to help manage the apt-get(8) file cache, but could be configured to work with any collection of Debian packages. . Running apt-move periodically will assist in managing the resulting partial mirror by optionally removing obsolete packages, and creating valid local Packages.gz files. It can also optionally employ rsync(1) to build a partial or complete local mirror of a Debian binary distribution (including an ``installed-packages only'' mirror). $ apt-cache show apt-zip Package: apt-zip Priority: extra Section: admin Installed-Size: 104 Maintainer: Santi Bejar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 0.12.1 Depends: apt (>= 0.3.10) Filename: dists/woody/main/binary-all/admin/apt-zip_0.12.1.deb Size: 14358 MD5sum: 8fcedc5f5200ad02ca0450a29e175c33 Description: Update a non-networked computer using apt and removable media These scripts simplify the process of using dselect and apt on a non-networked Debian box, using removable media like ZIP floppies. One generates a `fetch' script (supporting backends such as wget and lftp, in a modular, extensible way) to be run on a host with better connectivity, check space constraints of your removable media, and then install the package on your Debian box. . Note on current version: space-checking is not done and spanning multiple disks is not yet supported. Greetings, joachim
