Hi,
This answers my question before! Thanks a
lot.
I have another question… I have the
complete Debian Sarge 10CD set of
packages. Can I also use them as
repositories? Maybe I can pick some
nice utilities from there and maybe update
them later.
Bhong

local repository for synaptic
Thanks for the link, David. I'm not an expert either, so I'm
experimenting as I go along.
Regarding the /etc/sources.list line
deb file:/home/dominique/debs debs
My deb files are in /home/dominique/debs so this is where I pointed to.
The second parameter points to the subdirectory that contains the
Packages.gz. In my case, I put it in debs (following my dpkg-scanpackages
command); in your case, you put it in the same directory as your deb files
(following your dpkg-scanpackages command).
So both our instructions are correct, the difference being where you put the
Packages.gz file.
