I'm configuring a local mirror in my laptop in order to install Debian in 
other computers. Now I've got only unstable branch (it's what I'm using), and 
have to configure apache in order to allow other computers to get installed 
from the mirror.

I send the bash script I use to get the mirror. You can modify the script for 
your needs.

Be careful, each command MUST not be split unles you use \ character at the 
end of each line.

Debian unstable doesn't have security updates, but stable does. So, I've 
commented last block.

Hope this helps.
