I don't think there's an easy way, but if you're keen you could create a mirror server for packages on your local machine (or your LAN). This is something that sysadmins do quite often to reduce network load by cacheing packages nearby, but I haven't tried it myself. > is there a way to modify the splash screen used by grub? Yes, edit /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme . When we build we have a patch which sets it to grubsplash-puredyne-logo-simple.{png,tga}, you can do similar.
