Please drop me info on how it > works for you and what problems you have/what you have achieved already. I'm planning on doing something similar. We (Debian-SP, a group of Debian users from São Paulo/Brazil, part of the [1]Debian-BR Project) promoted a very nice Debian Install Fest two weeks ago and we are planning on doing something similar but with Woody for beginners users in mind. However, I'm worried with the idea of creating a local Debian mirror as I don't have hardware enough to handle the amount of packages. I think that using a local mirror is the only way to achieve some degree of stability with the installer as packages are being changed everyday and burning a *installer only* CD with PGI to use an official Debian mirror as the source to fetch packages from is likely to give you too much trouble. How did you managed to fix the *packages changing too often* problem ? Are you using your own local mirror ? -- ++----------------------------------------------------------------------++ || Andre Luis Lopes andrelop@ig.com.br || || Debian-BR Project http://debian-br.cipsga.org.br || || Personal Web Site http://www.utah.com.br/~andrelop || || Public GPG KeyID 9D1B82F6 || || Keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net ||
