Hello, I have a CD-ROM-less laptop running the original 2.2 and a set of official 2.2r2 CD's, and I would like to use them to upgrade without having to connect to the internet. Is there any way, documented or otherwise, that I can use a network-shared CD-ROM drive (NFS, SMB) on another machine and still use the multi-CD capability of apt?
Another question: Do the archives listed in /etc/apt/sources.list have to have the correct Debian directory structure? I would like to have apt-get look into an unorganized directory of deb files (specifically a copy of the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives on another machine) so I don't have to download the same set of packages twice for each machine. Thanks, Rich -- From the Desktop of Rich Renomeron If you cannot convince them, confuse them.
