I set mine thus:- APT::Archives::MaxAge "180"; APT::Archives::MinAge "2"; APT::Archives::MaxSize "700"; My reasoning being that I want to keep .deb files around until the next version of 'buntu comes out, and I'm happy to allow for up to a CD sized .iso file being created. As that's different from the defaults, I'm wondering if my reasoning is faulty? Also, am I correct in thinking that one just has to pop the CD in the drive, and apt-get will get the files off the CD, instead of from the Internet, if they are available on the CD?
