Network & Mirror Issue

[Mohamed Saudi]

The mirror will be on my computer, I will setup ftp server and also share the mirror folder on samba. Installers have to do the following

- add those lines in source.list (at the top)
deb ftp://192.168.1.230/ lucid main multiverse restricted universe
deb ftp://192.168.1.230/ lucid-updates main multiverse restricted universe
deb ftp://192.168.1.230/ lucid-security main multiverse restricted universe

or ...

mount the samba share to a local mount point. then add the following lines in source.list (at the top)
deb file:/path/to/mnt/point  lucid main multiverse restricted universe
deb file:/path/to/mnt/point  lucid-updates main multiverse restricted universe
deb file:/path/to/mnt/point  lucid-security main multiverse restricted universe

then update apt, and start installing whatever you want. after finishing installing, please remove those lines from sources.list then update apt

Those steps are valid for both 32bit and 64bit installations

If anyone can provide an empty 100GB IDE harddrive, I can make this even easier

Thank you
Mohamed Saudi

  I need to know how the network infrastructure will be, although the

  in terms of network view, if we can host a BIND server in order for
  the hosts to resolve default mirrors domain names to our mirror IP
  address, I don't know much about BIND, I am not sure if it would take
  time in order to configure, it will be easier in order to install
  packages, especially if there are many people and many packages being
  installed.
