Hi all:

I recently arranged a Debian Lenny MySQL-Server at my job and is working
amazingly fine; non-graphics, only command line and performed the
installation at home while connected to Internet from CD 1.

The office kind of depends of this server full time and network settings
have been tuned according to the internal company policy, so I’d like to
avoid taking it home for updates thus having to reconfigure networking (not
an expert).

There are no Internet connections of any kind and I’d like to keep the O.S.
up to date. I also tried to install samba but the packages couldn’t off
course be retrieved.

¿Could somebody please tell me what methods are available to keep the
machine updated. (importing the updates from another internet PC os so)?
Take a look to apt-offline (or older apt-zip) package

Regards,
