But I have not nullmodem cable.
I think that that it is maybe possyble to use for this pourpose an
USB cable?
Sooner or later I shall by an PCMCIA ethernet card for laptop.
I use an USB drive and this apt HOWTO:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html
so I can now to install packages from Desktop to laptop.
I have only an error message when install from this local repository
from USB drive about that that this is an Untrusted source.
How can I get rid of this message?
