You have to change the lines to woody and add your machine on top of the
sources.list. You have to be careful with this because you shouldn't do any
apt-get install or apt-get upgrade, otherwise your machine would have woody
packages installed which could end up in a chaos. If you only run apt-get
update, nothing on your machine will change (except the package lists of
course). If you want to install something on your machine change the lines
back to potato, comment your local mirror out and run apt-get update, install
all the packages you need and then change back everything to mirror again.
You could write a little script for doing this.
