If you have several machines on a network that is connected it is sometimes worthwhile setting up a squid-deb-proxy cash on a small portable machine and that will speed up you local updates (of you're on a slowish connection) and then you can take that to the offnet machines (which should have squid-deb-proxy-client installed) as and when required.Adrian Midgley via list wrote:What method does the panel prefer for updating a computer which is not connected to the Internet?
