IME the exact opposite ;) ObPackagePlug: apt-proxy. Change your sources.list to point to http://localhost:9999/{debian,non-US,security} and in /etc/apt-proxy/apt-proxy.conf: add_backend /debian/ \ $APT_PROXY_CACHE/debian/ \ planetmirror.com::debian/ add_backend /non-US/ \ $APT_PROXY_CACHE/non-US/ \ planetmirror.com::debian-non-US/ add_backend /security/ \ $APT_PROXY_CACHE/security/ \ planetmirror.com::debian-security/ apt-proxy uses rsync to grab packages and caches it locally, thus thwarting evil transproxies that your ISP may have set up and uses minimal upstream bandwidth for networks all using apt regularly. (and when gzip finally gets the rsyncable patch, then it'll save on your bandwidth even more when updating the Packages lists) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg There is no emoticon to describe how I feel. -- Fat Comic Guy, The Simpsons -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
