Simple and effective.
Yup, but I'm not using NFS at all.
Try also apt-move to move all the downloaded packages from
/var/cache/apt/archives/ to a local `mirror' directory tree. You then
then export that tree using a http or ftp server.
That's the question that I asked about originally! I was wondering if
anyone's ever used apt-move, and if they can give me some pointers, and
some things to look out for.
Thanks!
