Hi, 1. I have copied my Debian CDs to hard-disk and have added the required sources.list lines. The problem is that, when i do a apt-get install pkg, it tries to load from the internet since they have the latest pkg. Since i pay for data transfer, i was wondering if there was a way to tell apt-get to use file:/ instead of the net?
Obviously i don't want to hash out my http:// and ftp:// source.list, lines because i do install from the net from time to time - also, every time i hash in the net lines apt will redownload meta-data and upto 5-6MB goes waste. dpkg -i /verylongPath is not an option - i want this working in apt- get. 2. Is there a way to tell the debian kernel module not to load certain modules. Blacklisting doesn't seem to be the right way from what i understood of the man modprobe.conf page. I've got pcspkr, rtc, ipv6, ali_agp, processor etc loaded and i don;t want to rmmod them - i'd rather not have them load. Is there any way to do this? I am using Debian Etch, kernel -2.6.18-5-486. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
