hi, i just did a apt-get dist-upgrade and about 159MB got downloaded. now i would like to write the files from the /var/cache/apt/archive to a cd so that it can be used to upgrade another debian m/c. what are other files that have to be transferred. when i do a apt-get dist-upgrade it should use the files from the cd rather than attempt to fetch the files from the server. / on the second machine /var/cahce/apt/archive would point to the cd temporarly. would files from /var/lib/dpkg suffice ? harsha ---------------------------------------------- The mailing list archives are available at http://lists.linux-india.org/cgi-bin/wilma/linux-india-help
