If you have network access then it is very easy using 'debmirror'. apt-cache show debmirror Description-en: Debian partial mirror script, with ftp and package pool support This program downloads and maintains a partial local Debian mirror. It can mirror any combination of architectures, distributions and sections. Files are transferred by ftp, http, hftp or rsync, and package pools are fully supported. It also does locking and updates trace files. There is also 'reprepro' and others too. Bob
