After trawling though the man pages for apt, apt-get, apt.conf and synaptic, I can't see how to set the system up to use a local repository. Searched the alug archives for an answer to no avail.. The packages need to be on a hard drive so that I can mess around on a box that doesn't have internet access... So two questions for the apt-experts..
What do I need to add to /etc/apt/apt.conf or *.lists to get Synaptic to use a local directory ?
Do I need to auto-generate a package list to resolve dependency problems, or does apt do this without prompting ?
Regards, Paul.
