How about this? By default, /var/apt is symlinked to /usr/local/apt.
Believe me, you need >200M of disk to go from hamm to slink. And you have
to account for the fact that other things use /var. (Trust me. 125M of
stuff on a 56k modem SUCKS.)
Actually, no. Not by default. I've got it. When configuring apt, you get a
prompt. "Do you want to keep it's downloaded files in /var/apt or
/usr/local/apt?" Make everybody happy. :)
*sniffle* now, if'n you'll excuse me, i'm going back to bed. Or at least
going to TRY going back to bed. ;P
