How to update packages across LAN (not Internet)
Asked by
Bob Harvey
I am on a modem link to Internet, so package update can take a long time. I have installed Ubuntu dapper on a 2nd machine from the distro CD, and would like to update it from my main machine. That way I only need to update one machine from the Internet and can do any others across the local LAN.
Q1 -- can this be done? I can't find a way to redirect repositories away from the Internet onto my main computer.
Q2 -- And anyway, can the main computer be treated as a repository?
Q3 -- If not, how can I do this?
Thanks for your help.
