Setting up Debian on a mobile disk

Hello,
like the subject says, I want to set up a Debian system on a bootable
external USB hard disk to use with a (normally) Windows laptop. Of course I
could just pop in a netinstall CD on the target computer and do the normal installation
process. However, I have a couple of full-featured Debian PCs and wondered
if I couldn't somehow use them (and their up-to-date package cache) to
accomplish this much quicker. Mind you, I don't need or want a clone of an
existing system; essentially I just want to circumvent the clumsy boot-CD
process and the slow package download.
I can hook up the laptop to a local network with a Debian box. Is it
possible to set up that box as a package repository?
Thanks,
--D.
