I don't think you can use the ISOs directly. But here's one way to use the packages on the ISOs: 1. loop-mount the iso to some directory (or burn them on cd) 2. copy all .deb files from the ISO to some directory in the webserver root, e.g. /var/www/debs. Directory structure doesn't matter. 3. cd to that directory 4. run "dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip > Packages.gz" in that directory 5. make sure the webserver user www-data has read privileges on that directory 6. on a client add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list (above the official debian sources): deb http://<server-IP>/debs ./ I did this myself for the first 6 CDs and it works good. Of course there are special tools for creating a real debian mirror, but this is quite easy and I don't need the whole debian archive at home... cheers, Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
