i have a laptop, and i have a desktop. the desktop has about 28 more gigs than the laptop, hence i'd like to put as much as possible on the desktop.
hence, i wanted to hase the /var/cache/apt/archive on the desktop, and nothing on the laptop. (btw, i am on a dialup, so i like to keep my package archive for reinstalls and the likes) now, i realize that i can put a path to the desktop archive (be it mounted, or via ftp) in /etc/apt/sources.list, however if i were to download a package on the laptop, it wouldn't go to the desktop, it would go directly to the laptop; furthermore, i think when a package were to be taken out of any location provided by the sources.list file, it is copied to /var/cache/apt/archive. this defeats the purpose. if someone has any ideas, i'd appreciate it. thanx darkhaven (aka - shawn wilson / kg4gxu)
