I expanded on it a little because I have a dialup connection.  It's not guru 
scripting but it works.  This one is for i386 systems.  I export the mirror 
nfs so I can use it for a couple of machines.  Here's the /etc/fstab line on 
my local machines (this is supposed to be all on one line):

servername:/mirror/kde2  /mnt/kde2 nfs 
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,hard,ro 

and their corresponding sources.list line 
deb file:/mnt/kde2 potato main crypto optional
