I want to do this by 1. Working out from my knoppix machine at work which packages it's going to need.
run apt-get -u dist-upgrade This will show you a list of all packages which it is planning to download and prompt you before downloading so you can cancel.
4. Configuring apt on my machine at work to get all of the packages it needs from the CDRW, rather than the net.
Copy the .deb's from the cd to /var/cache/apt/archives/ then run apt-get -u dist-upgrade again and I'm pretty sure apt will just magically use them. Regards -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 275 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz
