That's it. I have it on my to-do list along with a zillion other
things :)

apt-mirror is the command I was using, it's been around for some time,
and whilst there are a few bugs, it's pretty good at doing what I
planned.

When I brought it up there was some negative comments, so I kinda went a
bit cold on the idea. The were suggestions that it wouldn't be _that_
useful, but I'd be happy to talk about it again and iron out the issues.

Cheers,
Al.
