Hmm, I think you're correct. It seems pretty bare bones but it will
hopefully do the trick :)
One question: If I have packages in /debian and I want to update to newer
packages with dftp do I need to have the packages in /debian organised into
the same heirarchy are they are on ftp.debian.org? Or can they all just be
thrown into on big dir?
Thanks,
Adam.
