Create a Local Mirror

Welcome, I hope so, too ;-)

# howto create mirror from woody-cds
#       mkdir ${LOCALMIRRORDIR}/debian
#       cd ${LOCALMIRRORDIR}/debian
#       mount /cdrom/ && cp -ax /cdrom/* . && umount /cdrom/
#               ## repeat this for all eight CDs

I use "debmirror" (http://packages.debian.org/debmirror, its only in
testing but builds just fine with "apt-get source -b debmirror") to keep
the mirror in sync. 

 
> Thanks for any help.

as said, your welcome ;-)
