I want to make one machine the "master" for packages, so once I have

I assume that if I try to install a package, this loaction is checked
first. right? Alos, how can I share the lisy fo available packages thet is
created by an apy-get update?
The big picture here is to create a situation where only one machine at a
particular loacation need internet access, and all of it's brothers ate are
to share the vaialble packages, without them having to directly access the
internet. (Yes it's a stupid requirent).
Hi, i had exactly the same requirement. Here broadband is expensive and
downloading packages more than once is a costly exercise. By far your
best best is to setup apt-cacher by "sudo aptitude install apt-cacher
-y" and then "man apt-cacher" to get information about it. Basically
you can edit the config file for it in /etc/defaults and in
/etc/apt-cacher and it's pretty easy. You can then also import existing
packages in to it's database and add the location of that computer in to
the other computer's sources.list.
One other thing you will need to change is in /etc/apt/apt.conf and
remove :http: from the proxy config line.
I know it may seem a little indepth but I whole-heartedly recommend it.
Once you read and understand the man pages of apt-cacher things become
clear. Let me know if i could help any more.
