D'oh, that means more than 1 DVD (and we just bought a DVD recorder at
work)! I have been wanting to setup my own local debian mirror or
apt-proxy. The main purpose is to update the seven or so machines I
will have on my home network. What is the needed disk space per port
and version? I.e. Woody on x86. I have x86 and ultra sparc and may use
both woody and sid on them so I guess I would need to time this by 4 for
enough disk space.
Also, I could setup my Toshiba Libretto 50CT (with 6GB hard drive) for
using at installfests of demo's. It could be setup with at least the
core of woody for that.
