 yeah i have read that, but it doesn't answer my question.

 the closest thing to what i want requires that you have apt-get on the
connected machine.   i don't (it's a windows machine with wget).

 to repeat: i need to manually download the Packages.gz files from the
archives listed in sources.list, which isn't a problem.  but what i don't
know how to do is make apt-get `read' those files an update itself so `apt-get
upgrade' uses the newer Packages.gz files.

 thanks anyways..
