Xfree update for slink 2.1

2000-04-01 Thread Antonio Rodriguez
I have mirrored the whole directory at
http://www.debian.org/~vincent/dists/xfree-update/main/binary-i386/
to avoid having to download it every time I do a fresh installation from
my official cds.
What command will upgrade it, shoud I run apt-get upgrade xfree or so
from within the directory where the files are?
Thanks,
AR.

If you've mirrored the Packages.gz file as well, then add a line to
/etc/apt/sources.list pointing at that directory like this (assuming
you've put them in /home/username/debian/xfree-update):

deb file:/home/username/debian xfree-update/

(The / at the end is important.)

After you've done that, 'apt-get update', and then 'apt-get upgrade'.
'apt-get install xbase' would probably also do the job instead of
upgrade, but I'm not sure exactly what the recommended way is.
