Sender: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org Errors-To: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: parisc-linux developers list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, I want to keep my C240 uptodate, but unfortunately I don't have a Internet connection at home. (This would cost me a fortune and here in Ireland you can't get much more than 56.6k anyway) However, I have a Internet connection (100Mbit) at work (university) and I have a laptop at work that I can use at home. I don't think that I'd be allowed to take my C240 to the university in order to do an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade; moreover it's damn heavy ;-) Therefore I want to fetch the latest hppa-packages and save them on my laptop and use the laptop as a kind of apt-proxy. I don't have any clue how the debian package management works, but is all I need to do mirror the URLs listed in the /etc/apt/sources.list (at least the hppa-specific directories), e.g. by using wget ? Since there is Win2k preinstalled on the laptop I have to use a solution that runs on Windows! (at least my PC at work is 100% MS free ;) Is there a mini-howto or software available that solves my problem (except http://sourceforge.net/projects/apt-proxy/) ? Any hints ? greetings max
