RE: reusing deb files

[micobros]

Hello,   Wouldn’t it be easier to install an apt server for his network? Each client machine has the server in the apt sources-list file and request the wanted package from it. If it doesn’t have it, the server will just download it once for everyone.   Maybe he doesn’t have a network … that’s another problem ;)   Cheers,    Mico     From: L.V.Gandhi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 21 septembre 2005 8:49 To: Robert Storey Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: reusing deb files     On 9/21/05, Robert Storey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm wondering if there is a way that I can "reuse" deb files on another machine. Let me explain more clearly: If, for example, I do "apt-get install mmv", the package mmv_1.01b-12.2_i386.deb will be downloaded into directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ and then installed. Very much possible and easier. I do it. Please go through the faq for apt. -- L.V.Gandhi http://lvgandhi.tripod.com/ linux user No.205042
