By default the packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and deleted if you do an apt-get clean /apt-get autoclean or tell synaptic to do so (in prefs). > This would be very useful for depenancy problems at the remote station. you could "yumify" the directory with yum-arch and then make it available via http or ftp. For localhost only use a dir is sufficient: e.g. /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources dir my-apt-cache /var/cache/apt/archives will add a new up2date "channel" with your apt-cache. have fun Christoph
