They do.

I found this very useful:

See the instructions at the bottom of the page.

Thank you for your response.

I am kinda confused with the link you sent me, I'm still studying it.

Nevertheless,
I installed apt-mirror on the server and I am still reading the docu for it,

it actually tells to change the mirror.list under /etc/apt/ and I have something like this:

############# config ##################
#
# set base_path    /var/spool/apt-mirror
#
# if you change the base path you must create the directories below with write $

#
# set mirror_path  $base_path/mirror
# set skel_path    $base_path/skel
# set var_path     $base_path/var
# set cleanscript $var_path/clean.sh
# set defaultarch  <running host architecture>
set nthreads     20

set _tilde 0
#
############# end config ##############

#Lenny i386/AMD64
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

#Lenny ARM
deb-arm http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src-arm http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main/debian-installer
deb-arm http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main/debian-installer

I found this on the apt-mirror forum:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2072214&forum_id=197335

when i do:

debiansrv06:/etc/apt# apt-mirror

After a while it tells me that's going to get 45GiB from the mirror repositories, that's a lot using one 1Mb ADSL link.

Will download all of that just for i386/AMD64 and ARM? or it will download that for the whole arch supported in debian?

Is it possible to copy the contents of the ARM DVD to a local folder and use it as a local repository?  This can be done in CentOS/Fedora/RHEL as this howto states.

If someone could correct me if I did something wrong here please.


Sorry for my bad english.
