Which version of debmirror are you using?
I am using a version from the 20/10/2009
> gpgv: keyblock resource `/root/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg': file open error

reasons. I maintain my mirror using my normal user id.
Yes I was, though unintentional I just forgot to logout of root
account.
pdiff remains an unknown option though.
Alternatively rather than creating a local mirror I was considering to use
apt-proxy. But the documentation does not make it clear for me what exactly I
need to edit, especially as I am using proxy settings for any internet
connection in the first place.
I am assuming i have to set the variable $NSFROOT_ETC_HOSTS which requires the IP address of the mirror?
So basically all I want to do is set up access to a debian mirror either through a local one or apt-proxy in order to use FAI to install my cluster nodes.
I think I am generally a little confused and maybe a bit ambitious trying to
install a cluster with my very limited linux knowledge but I am willing to
learn.
Thanks

P.S. no more long email cites :)
