This is not necessarily the case. Apt repositories don't always use the same structure -- although a standard layout for storing Debian distribution branches does exist: If you look at the entries in http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/apt-sources/ (a page cataloging unofficial apt repositories for various purposes), you'll see lots of different directory layouts among them. Not following the standard layout (because you're mounting several ISO images) just means that the client machine trying to reach the apt repository may need a separate line in /etc/apt/sources.list for each ISO image, e.g., deb http://aptsource.admu.edu.ph/debian/disk1/ ./ deb http://aptsource.admu.edu.ph/debian/disk2/ ./ deb http://aptsource.admu.edu.ph/debian/disk3/ ./ > yup. there is a way. ;-> I hope that helps. -- Cheers, "Not using Microsoft products is like being a non-smoker Rick Moen 40 or 50 years ago: You can choose not to smoke, yourself, [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it's hard to avoid second-hand smoke." -- M.
