I routinely work without a viable network connection of any kind. My
response was to purchase a eight DVD set of "squeeze". Using the DVD

I've lost links to:
a. creating the packages and packages.gz files.

I'm not sure that section answers the exact question I'm
attempting to ask. *BUT* I presume the overall document is
aimed at typical average sane users. In past "three score
and ten" those adjectives have ever been used to describe me ;/
HOWEVER, after browsing the table of contents at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/index.en.html
I suspect the posting of a half-dozen questions has been
short-circuited. Thank you.

PS: I never done this for large archive such as what you indicated.
