If you set up a server with lamp & put the files in the root of
the /var/www ( change ownership of the files to www-data) then in
your source.list have the files looking to deb
http://10.x.x.x/Ubuntu oneiric main blah blah it will work we could
get cute & create a bind server with the repo server setup
there.

No, it looks like you can use local file. Open up software
sources ---> other software and hit the add button.
Paste the following into your the URI field. If I've got it
right it should work and populate the other required
fields:
deb file:///media/UbuntuAURepository/Ubuntu oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
Should do it, assuming I've got the path right. Fingers
crossed.
Hey, you could _always_ update your machines this way - you'd never have to bother with on line vagaries or slow speeds if the servers are busy.
Even the new release ISOs will magically appear one day, assuming you've got the cron job running everyday.
I think you could replace "main restricted universe multiverse" with just "all" and it may still work.
Chris.
