        Use apt-move to do that. It is quite easy to use (and the
        version in woody is so much better than the version in potato)
        and it will construct a small, local Debian mirror from the
        contents of the debian packages that you have already fetched.

        Just update your system, slap a boot floppies directory there,
        burn that onto a CD-R and bingo: you have a brand spanking new
        snapshot of woody in your own hands.

        Quite easy and I've done myself this a lot of times (and also
        with a lot of goodies like adding a Ximian Gnome and KDE tree
        to a potato CD that I made to some friends).

        There is no mistery in that.


        Hope this helps, Roger...
