First off I'd like to thank you for the information. I looked at apt-proxy and it almost does what I want to do. Perhaps I should explain a little more. I want to get a subset of what is currently installed on my system with some additional packages, I don't want to have them installed first on my local system, and I don't want all of the packages that are on my local system (such as x, and other uneeded applications for my other systems). I will probably fall back to getting the files manually and creating a repository. I was just hopeful that someone had already done something similar that would allow for an easy update of the packages using apt. Thanks for the information, I may hack at the apt-proxy code and see if I can make it do what I want it to. -- o) Derek Wueppelmann (o (D . monkey@monkeynet.ca D). ((` http://www.monkeynet.ca/ ( ) `
