Download once, apt-get install many?
Ok,
I'm looking at upgrading to potato. I'm doing the
"apt-get -d dist-upgrade" currently since it looks like it'll take 1day
and 15hrs per box. Since the -d downloads, can I take the files being
downloaded for box1, tar them up, copy and untar to box[234] and then
just "apt-get install" from the single downloads? I'd hate to spend
a full week downloading the same files multiple times...
