Re: Net-Install Question
apt-proxy
fairly easy to setup, and caches any package you'vw already downloaded... plus, there's a script to 'move' any packages
installed on a current system into the proxy cache. so you can install apt-proxy on your existing machine, and use it
as your apt source for any other machine.
