You can use debmirror to create a mirror of security.debian.org
somewhere on a usbkey, and use it with a 'file:' entry in your
sources.list. Example with an usbkey mounted on /media/usbkey. If you
want, you can create a CD with this directory and use the CD.
Create the mirror:
debmirror -e http -h security.debian.org -r debian-security
/media/usbkey/mirrors/debian-security -d sarge/updates -s
main,contrib,non-free -a i386 --nosource --postcleanup -p
Use it:
in sources.list, add 'deb file:/media/usbkey/mirrors/debian-security
sarge/updates main non-free contrib'
That all.
