Hi, I got Debian DVD Etch src iso files which I'd like loop-mount and use as my repo sources for apt-mirror to use. This is so that I don't have to start from scratch downloading all those files before proceeding on to using network sources. Unfortunately I get this problem:
""" su - apt-mirror -c apt-mirror Downloading 4 index files using 4 threads... Begin time: Tue Mar 20 14:54:45 2007 [4]... [3]... [2]... [1]... [0]...

""" Is it because apt-mirror can't accept non-network repos as source repos since, in my case, it doesn't place them into "/data/apt-mirror/mirror/" as I asked in the attached config file?
