Yup I got the debmirror script from sourceforge. and its still downloading ;). Now i know why people love debian package distribution.
apt-get install apt-mirror could life be more simpler. I had debian on my desktop 5 months back but couldn't configure x. switched to Redhat+Ximian and i absolutely love it. still i want to get x to work under debian. Now I am looking into how i can install debian with redhat as base. karthik > Yeah, I used that script too and it worked great.
