You need to set up an apt-cacher server. Here are instructions to do so: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server</a>. You will just have to update the souce lists on the workstations to use it. The instructions also cover this situation where you want to copy files off of CD into the cache around upgrade time. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 9:11 AM, Rick Bryant <<a href="mailto:rick.bryant@gmail.com">rick.bryant@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi all... I'm teaching an Intro to Linux course. The students are using Ubuntu installed through VMWare. With the new release of 4.10 coming shortly I'm looking for a way for the students to upgrade to 4.10 locally. The bandwidth at the school is not the greatest and I fear that 12 students trying to upgrade at the same time will kill the bandwidth. Does anyone have a suggestion for upgrading locally? I'm thinking I'll probably have to download the image, create a local mirror, and point their machines to that mirror. I've never done that before. Does that sound like the right process? Thanks for your help.
