For debmirror yes, by section, by category, and possibly by regex (I haven't used that though), so perhaps apt-move is best to turn packages on a few DVDs into a local archive, that's what I originally used it, combined with local apt cache (/var/local/apt??) > IIUC the ISOs should be used to avoid downloads, since > there seem to be issues with the Internet for the OP. Sounds like ideal for OP _might_ be apt-cacher? Anubhav, try this: apt-cache show apt-cacher and see if that is what you might want. I once used squid as a more general purpose web cache (included .deb etc files), to eliminate repeats on a more general level (above apt, including http and ftp) for a small office. Worked very well for us. There are so many options... good luck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
