I would like to know how to turn my laptop into an apt-proxy.
As for boot floppies, as previously stated, we don't have net access set
up properly.
I normally use the network CD at home.
Cheers Don

Personally I install with the three boot floppies and download the current
packages as needed. An apt-proxy server helps save download time of course.
Nick - fix your reply-to please.

We don't yet have net access at the Upper Riccarton library, so I
can't do a net install on Thursday.
Does anyone on list know anything about debian? How many of the ISO's
do I need? I see there are 14 currently.
I also have a Debian machine which I've trashed but I want to repair.
The version of the installer I've got doesn't seem to support a
repair. Any thoughts anyone?
Yes, RTFM

"Although a full set of binary packages requires several CDs, it is unlikely
you will need packages on the third CD and above."
You could also consider ubuntu as it supports a wide variety of packages and
tends to be more up to date.
