Hello,

I would like to mirror Ubuntu APT repositories for my own private use. This mirroring I have in mind could be offline on one machine, or it could be for a local network.

How can I do it?...

I already have done it. The lines are (and were) commented on /etc/bash.bashrc:



# Commented out, don't overwrite xterm -T "title" -n "icontitle" by default.

That is really easy.

But I also couldn't figure it out alone.

Maybe this (commom case) should be given on Ubuntu Help, either as an example, or a general explanation of how Ubuntu does windows'...

"Escape codes", mmm... so this is the name, I guess. I am thinking that I need to look them in detail. Do someone have a good detailed documentation on this? I'll be searching it.

Oldfred, it is...

Oh, that is really good! :)

I have tested it and it worked.

Although it had a little glitch to work through:



$ ls|lpr
lpr: Bad copies value 0.

But how do I print from the terminal, then?

Hello,
