If you're going to do it like that, you need to mount all 13 CD images with the loop option to mount. What you're serving right now is 13 really big ISO files. However, once they're mounted you could edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to each of the (mounted) CD filesystems. That's what the SNA 3.0 installer did. 3.1, if I ever finish it, just uses a local pool, because it's much less hassle. That's what I recommend: debmirror to mirror the pool, and just serve that with, say, Apache, and install from there. m23 claims to have a script
Or just set up Apache as a poxy server, with a view of the Real World and install off that. Properly configured, it will download and cache what you want. Its log will show you what files you needed (and their order), and if you want you can then create your own CD with just what you want. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
