copying .debs from one cache to another

[Mustard]

I've booted up in my newly installed 'test' 386 kernel, and I was going to start running some updates. I'm on dialup so the thought of watching it all download really slowly was irritating me, so I mounted the /var partition I am using for another 386 kernel install and simply copied all the *.debs from /var/cache/apt/archives directly into my archives folder on my new kernels /var partition. Am I asking for trouble? Or is this going to work? So far things have been installing nicely.

No, that's perfectly safe

Thanks. It's all been working well, but it's nice to have it confirmed.
