I want to update the packages on my laptop and wish to do this locally from the desktop machine.
what's the best way to do this?
where would be a good place to go to find out?
apt-get from laptop?
Knoppix 3.2 went on in late Oct03 and I've frequently used apt-get to update the system from debian mirrors.
<shameless praise>
just to say thanks to all for your support in helping me get my head around Linux and helping getting Linux running smoothly on my home pc.
It is such a relief to have a reliable OS that just works for days and days, humming along, everything I throw at it is handled with ease (except scanning, still not quite right).
The other OS has been such a headache for many years and this was becoming endless amounts of time wasted in administrating for reboots, bsod, frozen screens, viruses, worms, trojans and bothersome glitches. Which would happen several times a day. Now this box is Linux and hasn't crashed or mucked up for weeks, err, try months! which means I don't have to sit about for hours and hours administrating a busted system.
now I can get on my life!
yippee! a life! thanks for helping get my life back again.
that's got to be the best Christmas present.
thanks again and Merry Christmas to you all

regards Russell
