reutilizing downloaded packages
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
hi all,
i've two machines upon which i run sarge. since i've got a low speed connection it's really painful for an update, but i do apply updates periodically. My both machines run sarge, so i don't like the pain to have packages downloaded twice. My present solution isto copy the archives folder from one machine to the another and then hit a apt-get update on the other machine. In this way it only downloads the other missing packages.
But i want to get rid of this. Well, plz don't suggest me to set up a mirror. I just am thinking to export the archives directory to my other machine (with ofcourse rw permissions) and run apt-get on each machine ONE AT A TIME. Is it okay or will it create problems ?
