On a Win98 machine? Ugh.

Your best bet is to do it on another Debian box. Copy all the files into the
same potato directory, and then read the apt-move documentation. This will
fix everything up for you so you have a real Debian mirror.

You could do this by mounting the directory on the Win98 machine and
operating apt-move under it (ie. mount it to /mirrors via Samba), but it
would be kinda slow. :)

First stop is really the apt-move documentation... Then you can engineer
something that works within your setup.
