How to make a debian archive to carry around?

How to make a debian archive to carry around?

use debian-mirror-2.5 downloaded from

http://www.linuxinsight.com/debian_mirror_2.5.html

and edit the script, create a local repository (needs ftp at present.)

the can copy it to a hard drive with

rsync backup

we will talk about automating with the exchange of pass phrase later.

now we use

rsync -avz -e ssh etch user@192.168.55.200:/mnt/debian

careful about this. Know difference between this and

rsync -avz -e ssh etch/ username@192.168.1.57:/mnt/debian/


remember that scp will copy it again. so rsync is better ....
