Tell it you don't have a Packages file, when it asks for the path to the main packages, give it the path you have and tell it to 'scan' for packages. Make all the other paths blank. The "Update" step will take a bit longer, because it has to open each deb file and look into it, but not ridiculously so. HTH Jiri <jiri@baum.com.au>
