Hi Folks

I have a few installs to do here, It seems the updates are each quite
a volume, especially when multiplied out.

Are these updates downloaded to one directory or are they
automatically farmed out where they are to go?

That is, how can I download them once and distribute these to the
other PCs on the LAN? (Short of possibly setting up a mirror from
http://apt-mirror.sourceforge.net/?)

They are downloaded to /var/cache/apt, so you can copy that directory
tree (the archives are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives, but control
files are in /var/cache/apt) to a CD/USB key/..., and transfer them to
the other machines.
