I've been working on doing local mirroring of linux distributions I own, mostly because I've got more storage than I need, and it's a fun challenge.
So, I've got a local 9.04, 9.10, 10.04, and 10.10 mirror that is working great. I can point my sources.list file at my mirror and do updates, and I can run network installs from my mirror as well.
I've had it running long enough to have a laptop that I want to update from 9.04 to 10.04 (for my mommy so she can see all the cool HTML5 stuff I put on our family website.) Update Manager sees an upgrade path to 9.10, but I can't get it to use my local mirror to download the data. So instead of getting LAN speeds at 10Mb/s, I'm using my internet speeds at ~800Kb/s.
How can I pick an "upgrade mirror" so to speak? /etc/apt/sources.list gets basically commented out during the process :(
