Net install question
Hi.
I'm a Linux newbie. Did my first install about a month ago using the
Knoppix 3.7 disk. It's been an interesting experience! :)
Due to my tinkering, I think I broke something. I decided to try a net
install of Debian Sarge and downloaded the iso... long time as I've
only got an analogue modem.
Now, my question is, what do I have to do to the cached .debs I have to
make them available after the original install from the Sarge disk? I'd
rather not have to download them all again, if they're already available
on my disk!
I've seen a number of questions since I joined this list that are quite
close to what I want, but not quite. I've done Google searches of both
the net and the Debian-users list and scoured the FAQs on the Debian
site and I'm just confused.
I *think* the way forward would be to use apt-move to make a new local
pool, but when I run that I get an error message about "obsolete 64 bit
headers" perhaps encoding? Or is there a simpler way? Simple == good! :)

dual boot WinME on 4GB hd (for safety net while I get Debian working
then *poof* she goes!)
If you need any more info, just ask. I'm not sure of everything I
should tell you...
