Hi Richard, Good question!
And the anwser is: you can add extra repos to your sources.list file *and* point them to the local cache! The cache will just figure out where to get the files for you. So, for example, if you want to add the medibuntu repository (which holds skype, amongst others), just add: deb http://aptcache.mountbatten.net:3142/packages.medibuntu.org/ karmic free non-free Skype is already inthere, so if you are on a fast local link, downloading that 21MB should be a breeze. the general trick is just to add aptcache.mountbatten.net:3142 in the right place. -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Do you have a businessplan?
