Using apt with downloaded files

["David Kanter" <KANTERD@bcbsil.com>]

I'd like to download a directory-worth of files using a T1 line and a Zip disk, then bring that disk to my Linux box at home. How should I set up apt to read the mounted Zip disk (/dev/hdd4)? I'm more concerned with setting up the apt configuration file.

Thanks,
Dave
