Yes, as long as the Packages.gz file in /win/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz lists all those files with paths in the Filename: fields that are correct relative to /win. That's all that matters. Incidentally, I still don't think 'deb file:/win/ main' is the sources.list entry you want. Read the man page carefully. For reference, the only file entry I have in sources.list is 'deb file:/usr/src/debian unstable main non-free', which finds Packages.gz files in /usr/src/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz and /usr/src/debian/dists/unstable/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz. (So I think one of the suggestions I gave you earlier was wrong - I forgot about dists/ - but look in the bits of the man page that suggest using a distribution ending with a slash, or else move your archive around to match mine. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
