pen drive as a repository

[sulekha]

Hi all,

I have read that by using the command sudo apt-cdrom add
we can use CD ROM as repository, in the same way how can we use pen drive as a repository ?

NB: I use ubuntu 8.04

If you already have everything formatted correctly you may try adding something like the following (also taken from the website given previously) in your /etc/apt/sources.list file

deb file:///home/aisotton/rep-exact binary/
deb-src file:///home/aisotton/rep-exact source/
