/var/cache/apt/archives/ to be exact. that's what i did. except, in my case my notebook was low on diskspace, so i actually nfs-mounted /var/cache/apt/archives/ from the other workstation, and then ran apt-get dist-upgrade as usual. the notebook then downloaded the missing packages that the other machine had not needed and then happily did the install. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
