Proxy apt cache?;

["Alan E. Davis" <adavis@saipan.com>]

I am in the middle of a four machine network install in my classroom.
I have one machine connected by PPP to the Inet.

I am attempting a dist upgrade to testing from potato.  One machine is
now upgraded, so the packages are here.  I can mount the var directory
by NFS to another machine; I have copied all packages to the new
machine, in /var/cache/apt/archives.

How can I set up the new machine now to recognize these packages and
install, either from this machine or the connected machine?  Can I
just copy over the /etc/apt/sources.list onto this machine without
being connected?  Which of the other files in /var/cache need to be
copied over?

Thanks for any suggestions.  I will try now to just copy over the
files I see, but I am walking blind.
