You can also try the following simpler method first. No need to go for apt-mirror
a) First create a local repository as described here from the DVDs - http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/03/05/ubuntu-repository-on-dvds-available-at-zyxware-order-it-now b) Next install apache/lighttpd in the machine where you have created the local repo as above. c) Serve the directory where you dumped the contents of the DVDs, via apache/lighttpd (For e.g if you had dumped them in /var/ubuntu/ , then serve that location through your http server by creating a symlink in /var/www pointing to /var/ubuntu . You may need to make appropriate changes in the conf file of the webserver to allow that.) d)Suppose the contents are now avaliable at http://localserver/ubuntu (obviously replace localserver with the FQDN/ IP Address of your webserver). e)In the clients in your LAN, change the sources.conf file so that they now point to deb http://localserver/ubuntu main restricted multiverse universe and run apt-get update f) The above should work. Hope this helps. Please tell us, if it worked. -- Sambit Bikas Pal MS 4th Year Indian Institute Of Science Education & Research Kolkata, Web: http://www.botcyb.org OpenPGP Key: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8E57F8B897D372B3 Sent from Calcutta, WB, India -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
