I am in the middle of a four machine network install in my classroom. I have one machine connected by PPP to the Inet.
I am attempting a dist upgrade to testing from potato. One machine is now upgraded, so the packages are here. I can mount the var directory by NFS to another machine; I have copied all packages to the new machine, in /var/cache/apt/archives. How can I set up the new machine now to recognize these packages and install, either from this machine or the connected machine? Can I just copy over the /etc/apt/sources.list onto this machine without being connected? Which of the other files in /var/cache need to be copied over? Thanks for any suggestions. I will try now to just copy over the files I see, but I am walking blind. Alan Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Marianas High School and N. Marianas College Saipan, N. Mariana Islands
