So would it be worth trying to set this server up properly as a dhcp and dns server now (I have lamp installed on lubuntu 11.10 now) or just bring along a router and use it as a DHCP server and point the ubuntu repo to the local machine? I'm pretty sure I can make the server work as a repository using http://popey.com/blog/2006/10/24/Creating_an_Ubuntu_repository_mirror_with_apt-mirror/ but it's the other magic I'm not sure of. -- Regards, Jared Norris JP(Qual) BBehSc(Psych) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
