You need to download only once. Then create a Packages file by using dpkg-scanpackage. compress the Packages file to create packages.gz in the same dirctory as the source. burn the directory with the debs and Packages gz file to cd. next pop into the machine of choice and apt-cdrom add && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install xyz. But the abv is a pain with many machines - even with one machine. Just dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc where hda is your fully installed disk and hdc is a brand new disk. Takes about an hour for a 40gb disk. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
